Dayton Hamvention® 2025 is Almost Here!

We’re thrilled to welcome you to this year’s Dayton Hamvention®, happening May 16–18, 2025!

Our 2025 theme, “Radio Independence,” celebrates the freedom and resilience that have always defined amateur radio. From the earliest spark transmissions to today’s global digital modes, hams have pushed the boundaries of innovation, service, and community.

Throughout history, radio has played a powerful role — uniting people, relaying critical messages, and opening up new frontiers. Yet it hasn’t always been free. In many places and times, radio has been heavily regulated or even banned. Today, we’re fortunate to enjoy the freedom to explore, connect, and create without limits. That freedom — our Radio Independence — is worth celebrating.

As we count down the days to Hamvention, we invite you to reflect on what Radio Independence means to you. It might be the joy of a POTA activation, the satisfaction of building your own rig, or the thrill of a contact halfway around the world.

However you experience it, we can’t wait to celebrate it with you — right here in Xenia, Ohio.

See you soon!
