Yes, there is a new name!  Big Bear HamEscape™  Join us in Big Bear Lake and escape to the forest, mountains, and lake for a mini vacation filled with exciting activities, informative seminars, and great networking opportunities, all centered around amateur radio.  The event will expand to accommodate twice the number of attendees from 2024 while maintaining the same intimate feel of the mountain venue.  

Gordon West will be available all weekend for booksignings.  Young Ladies Radio League and ARRL/ARES will return as active participants.  

In addition to focusing on new hams, women in radio, emergency communications, and getting outside to play, we are adding more activities for kids 12 and up, so bring the family for a great weekend in the Southern California mountains.  

The Holiday Inn Resort, located at the entrance to Big Bear Village, will once again host the Big Bear HamEscape™.  Bring a friend.  Bring a radio.  Escape to Big Bear Lake!
