This event evolved from the six Virtual Ham Expo conventions first launched in August 2020 during the Covid19 pandemic. The Academy now brings 26 top-quality, pre-recorded presentations in a "semi-live" format. You get the best of both worlds: high-quality presentations with live Q&A sessions.

Special Features:

  • Kick-off with two live shows: Ham Radio Workbench Podcast and RATPAC Celebrates Amateur Radio.

  • A searchable video library of all past Virtual Ham Expo presentations.

  • Future monthly virtual meetings and platform access for other organizations.

The QSO Today Academy aims to be an invaluable educational resource for the ham radio community. For more details, visit the QSO Today Ham Expo website.
