We’re excited to unveil the theme and logo for Dayton Hamvention 2025“Radio Independence.”

Our theme this year highlights the freedom, resilience, and endless possibilities within amateur radio. As our world grows more connected through POTA, SOTA, YouTube, and international communications, radio is breaking through traditional boundaries like never before. Historically, radio has been regulated—even banned in some places—but today, we have the freedom to explore, communicate, and innovate without limits. At Hamvention, we’re proud to champion this Radio Independence.

Our new logo embodies this bold spirit, celebrating the independence and ingenuity that unite our community. Join us May 16-18, 2025, as we come together to honor this theme and celebrate our collective passion for radio.

As we count down to Hamvention, we invite you to join the conversation:

What does Radio Independence mean to you?  

Share your stories, insights, and excitement as we prepare for an unforgettable Hamvention 2025!

73 de,
Brian Markland N8UDQ
Hamvention General Chair
and all our hard working volunteers!
