Greater Nashville & Middle TN HamQuest

The Greater Nashville & Middle TN HamQuest is extending an invitation to any EmComm/AuxComm group in any of the counties bordering Wilson Co. (Davidson, Sumner, Trousdale, Smith, Dekalb, Cannon, and Rutherford) that has emergency communications vehicles and/or trailers that are used in support of public events, disaster communications, community service, etc. to bring your unit to the HamQuest this year to be part of our celebration of all those amateur radio operators who give of their time and equipment to provide this much needed service to their communities. These communications assets may be owned by private individuals & organizations or by Municipal, County, or State Government agencies (EMAs, etc.) For more information e-mail auxcomm_display@midtnhamquest.com. We need to know how many pieces of equipment, their size, and how many personnel will accompany it no later than July 1, 2021.

We have had some inquiries about reserving the booths that are shown as “Available” on our Vendor and Booth Information page. As a result, we are updating our reservations process this year. Currently,  we are only taking reservations from those that had booths in 2019. Any booths shown as available are available to our 2019 booth holders only until May 31, 2021. On June 1, 2021 all remaining booths will be made available to anyone wishing to reserve booths. If you are interested in having a booth at HamQuest 2021, please e-mail us at reservations@midtnhamquest.com and let us know you want to be put on the wait list for a booth. We will then go down the list and contact those people in the order received until we are sold out. At that point any cancellations will be offered to those remaining on the wait list
