SUMMARY:2025 Quartzfest Ham Radio Convention
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nThe educational classes at QuartzFest offer something for everyone including those new to ham radio or even the most seasoned veteran. \n\n\n\nQuartzFest is a week-long ham radio\, camping\, learning and living event.\n\n\n\nQuartzFest 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. \n\n\n\nWhat? Quartzfest© is an annual HAM Radio RV and tenters Boondocking event which is held inlate January every year with dates coinciding with the Quartzsite Arizona “RV Show”.When?

During the week of Quartzfest©\, RV’s are everywhere across the desert\, as far asyou can see..every make and model you can imagine!There are hundreds of groups that meet in Quartzsite every year in different parts of the desertwho share like interests. Our group\, Quartzfest©\, started out in 1997 as just a few HAM RV’ersgetting together\, camping in their RV’s in the middle of the desert..no power\, no running water.Solar Panels and Generators are in use everywhere (Porta-Potties are available for our tent campersand day visitors).Quartzfest© is similar to a Hamfest but lasts an entire week and is packed full of scheduled Seminarsand Activities (no vendors are allowed on BLM land though). Talks range in topics from Genealogyand Crafts for Non-HAM’s to Solar Power and Battery Information\, Technical information for theseasoned HAM\, and introductory information for the new HAM.
