THE QSO TODAY VIRTUAL HAM EXPO RETURNS MARCH 25-26, 2023 WITH THE THEME "NEW AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE - NOW WHAT?"


LOS ANGELES, Ca - The amateur radio hobby is alive and well and coming to the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo on March 25-26th, 2023 with the theme: “New amateur radio license - now what?”.  While the general public may not be aware that the hobby of amateur radio is not only alive and well, it is bigger and better than it ever was.  Many new amateur radio licensees may not know what opportunities for fun and growth exist in the hobby, once they leave their exam with their new license in hand.  The goal of the Expo is to get more ham radio licensees on the air and involved in the hobby.  


This 6th QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo will showcase, through a weekend of presentations with live video questions and answers, the wide range of ham radio activities, technology, and communities that exist, not only in North America, but around the world.  “Amateur Radio is now like the traditional circus of old, with the traditional communications activities in the bigtop’s three rings, but now with a midway of a thousand tents, each containing a unique and interesting ham radio activity’, said Eric Guth, 4Z1UG, QSO Today podcaster and creator of the Expo. 


The Expo is presented on the vFairs virtual convention platform that creates virtual spaces and lounges for attendee interaction, a presentation auditorium with multiple simultaneous speaker tracks, and opportunities to interact through video, audio, and text chat with sponsors and exhibitors.  Every new edition of the Expo features new interactive features to enhance participation and educational benefit to amateur radio operators who want to try something new, or learn more about something in the hobby that interests them.  This time the Expo will introduce match-making between attendees who need amateur radio mentoring and potential mentors who match skills, expertise, and the location of hams needing help.  


The QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo will return on Friday Evening, March 24th at 6:00 PM PDT, that’s Pacific Daylight Time, with the show’s opening and includes live shows by distinguished ham radio podcasters and YouTubers.  Interactive spaces and lounges are open for a continuous 48 hours over the weekend.  Presentations begin at 8:00 AM PDT, Saturday morning, March 25th, 2023.  After the weekend, all of the presentations are available for 30 days to ticket holders.  Tickets are on sale now at a cost of $15.00 each at qsotoday.vfairs.com/en/registration-form
