We are pleased to announce that the TN Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Communications trailer will be on display at the 4th Annual HamQuest. Based at the Missions Mobilization Center located in Mt. Juliet, this trailer is used to provide communications support for disaster relief operations in areas where traditional communications infrastructure is inoperable or otherwise inadequate to support the disaster relief mission.

The Big Day is only 6 Weeks Away
It’s hard to believe that the 4th annual HamQuest is only 6 weeks away! As preparations continue progressing along we have a few updates to share:
- First of all, we are once again an ARRL Sanctioned hamfest and will be giving away ARRL Store gift certificates as some of our door prizes.
- MAS Concessions will be returning as our food vendor this year. Let’s be sure to keep them busy like we did last year.
- We have a record number of booth spaces reserved this year (51 so far) but still have 7 available so don’t delay if you want to be under the pavilion.
- Door prizes will once again include a $100.00 DX Engineering gift certificate and a certificate for registration of the complete N3FJP Software Package without CD (a $49.99 value.) There will also be a great grand prize given away at noon.
- As in years past, you can get in to set your booth up beginning at 6:00 AM with gates officially opening at 8:00 AM.
