New for 2026 - Super Bundle

For 2026, we have added an online Super Bundle. Since bundling seems to be the way to buy insurance and other things, our Super Bundle combines three of our most popular items:

* One $10 admission to the Texoma Hamarama hamfest
* One $20 Super Raffle ticket for the ICOM 7610
* And eleven $2 general raffle tickets

This bundle’s total value is $50, but we are offering this grouping for only $40.00. If there are still tickets available at the door, this will offer ten general raffle tickets.

2026 Super Raffle – ICOM 7610 HF/50MHz TRANSCEIVER
This year’s Super Raffle is for this awesome ICOM 7610, a 100-watt-output dual-receiver radio. The second receiver lets you check out a new band while still listening to your original conversation. A great help for chasing DX. We will be selling only three hundred $20 raffle tickets for this radio. Get yours today. You do not have to be present at the hamfest to win!

Tickets are going fast for this raffle, but you can still purchase tickets for this super raffle at the door. More information about the raffle is available at this link. This will be a limited raffle. Only 300 tickets will be sold, and they are going fast. You do not have to be present to win. Place your order today!

The winner of this prize does not need to be present and will be announced at the 2026 Texoma Hamarama Hamfest. Don't miss it.
See you there!

Looking for a single antenna that can handle almost all your VHF/UHF needs without causing a neighborhood uproar? 📡✨

In the latest QST Magazine product review section, the Create CLP-5130-2N VHF/UHF Log-Periodic Antenna was put to the test, and it brought some seriously impressive utility to compact spaces:

🛸 Effortless Tracking: Thanks to its wide beamwidth, tracking satellites on 70-centimeter and 2-meter bands is an absolute snap—even without elevating your antenna!
🤫 Stealth Mode: With a boom length of under 5 feet, it looks just like an ordinary TV antenna. It's the perfect way to keep your local HOA or neighbors perfectly happy while staying highly active.
🌐 Massive Coverage: It covers everything from 105 to 1300 MHz with a single feed line.
