Hamfests are a lot of fun; buying and selling seeing old friends, making new friends, putting faces with call signs, and attending various forums and gatherings keep hamfests fun and busy for amateur radio operators.
Here is the most complete list I have for hamfests in the North Mississippi area during 2024. (Tuscaloosa is not on the list, as that hamfest has gone the way of all things. Sad, yet there it is.)
Be sure to mcontact the hamfest folks directly, as dates and details sometimes change. If I am missing a North Mississippi area event, please contact me at Sales@FatCat.Parts.
