75th Texoma Hamarama

The 75th Texoma Hamarama is rolling into Ardmore, Oklahoma on October
28, 2023. It is unfortunate, but the Organizers report that the City of
Ardmore will not permit Hamarama to erect the midway or the big tent and
parade through town with the elephants, zebras, lions and tigers this
year.

So the biggest Fall Hamfest in South Oklahoma and North Texas will have
to be held where the wind comes sweeping down the plain at the Ardmore
Convention Center at 2401 N. Rockford Avenue, Ardmore, Oklahoma. But be
of good cheer, the roof doesn’t leak and the stout walls will hold the
Oklahoma winds at bay so your search for the magic missing from your
shack will not be disturbed.

Doors open on Saturday at 8:00 am and remain open until 3:00 pm (or
until you run out of money).

The Hamarama website can be found at: https: https://hamarama.org/ .

The Hamarama flyer appears at: https://hamarama.org/flyer/ .

Tickets are still available at:  https://hamarama.org/tix/

Hamarama has an outstanding $20 raffle that you really should not pass
up. It is one of the best raffle prizes available at any Hamfest. The
prize is an Icom IC-705, PLUS a whole raft of goodies worth over $3,000
— and even better, you do not need to be present to win. The tempting
details can be found at:  https://hamarama.org/special/ .

The Oklahoma Ringmaster — a/k/a the OK SM Mark Kleine (N5HZR) —
will hold court at the ARRL Forum, with multiple guests, including the
border crossers John Robert Stratton (N5AUS), West Gulf Division
Director, and Lee Cooper (W5LHC), West Gulf Division Vice Director.

Ardmore is only 90 minutes from Oklahoma City and Dallas/Ft. Worth so
there is no excuse for staying at home — come to where the land is
grand and the deals are beyond description.

See you there!
