Amateur Radio Operator’s Reception
The Amateur Radio Operators Reception, affectionately
known as the HAM Reception, will be held on Wednesday, April 9 at
6pm in Ballroom B of the Las Vegas Hilton. The Reception is free-of-charge
and open to all attendees of the 2014 NAB Show.
The HAM reception is co-sponsored by Heil
Sound, Broadcast Supply Worldwide,
Turner Engineering, and
DX Engineering. Each
year, it brings together amateur radio operators from around the
world to enjoy the fellowship of the HAM community, and for the
chance to win fantastic prizes.
This year, our generous donors have contributed over $14,000 in
prizes, including an IC 7100 all-mode receiver donated by ICOM,
a Yaesu VX-3GR from Cavell, Mertz & Associates, and a Z00 –
H4N Zoom Stereo Handy Recorder from the Durst Organization. Every
attendee is eligible to win a door prize, and will receive a raffle
ticket upon entry.
