      ARRL to Hold National Convention at Orlando HamCation in February 2021   
      
      06/23/2020   
      
      ARRL has announced that Orlando HamCation(R) will host the 2021 ARRL   
      National Convention in Orlando, Florida, February 11 - 14. The convention   
      will mark the 75th anniversary of HamCation- one of the largest annual ham   
      radio gatherings. The convention theme, "reDiscover Radio," is a rallying   
      call for radio amateurs committed to developing knowledge and skills in   
      radio technology and radio communication.   
      
      The convention will kick off on Thursday, February, 11 with a series of   
      day-long ARRL Training Tracks and a National Convention luncheon at the   
      DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld. A complete program and   
      list of presenters will be available later this summer. Registration will   
      open in the fall. HamCation will host the rest of the convention Friday -   
      Sunday, February 12 - 14, at the Central Florida Fairgrounds and Expo Park   
      in Orlando.   
      
      HamCation is sponsored by the Orlando Amateur Radio Club (OARC), an   
      ARRL-affiliated club. OARC is supported by volunteers from radio clubs   
      throughout the region. This year, an estimated 24,200 people attended all   
      3 days of the event. Details on tickets and information about forums,   
      exhibits (including information for vendors and tailgaters), testing,   
      travel, and preferred hotels with special rates are on the HamCation   
      website.   
      
      Online ticket sales begin in August. Tickets purchased (postmarked) by   
      December 1, 2020, will cost $15 and are valid for all 3 days.   
      
      ARRL and HamCation acknowledge that this year's pandemic has introduced   
      uncertainty into any long-term planning. Both organizations will follow   
      all government and health requirements and guidelines as plans are   
      committed for the 2021 event.
