2024 Quartzfest Ham Radio Convention
January 21 – January 27 PST
Coming to a Desert near you January 21 to 27, 2024
QuartzFest is special in part because it comes to life each year, rising from nothing in a remote area of the Sonoran desert in the southwestern USA. Hundreds of Hams and their families and friends choose to unplug from their daily lives, travel to and setup this desert community, and immerse themselves in this week-long one-of-a-kind ham radio, camping, learning and living event.
The educational classes at QuartzFest offer something for everyone including those new to ham radio or even the most seasoned veteran.
QuartzFest is a week-long ham radio, camping, learning and living event.
QuartzFest is an ARRL Specialty Convention held in January near Quartzsite, Arizona in the United States. No other hamfest in the world brings together in one gathering so much innovation in mobile antenna systems, mobile ham shacks, recreational vehicles, portable and mobile EMCOMM systems, off-the-grid living, alternative energy and radio education.
