All Ham Dinner

Three times a year, in January, May, and September, CORA sponsors an “All Ham Dinner” where about 70 hams get together for a meal and to share information. The next dinner is on January 16, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. We will meet at Pickles Steakhouse, 1201 S Meridian Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73108. Be careful. There are other Pickles locations,  but this steakhouse and buffet has 30+ years of experience. It is formerly Western Sizzlin & Mackie McNear’s Steakhouse.

Ham Holiday

Each year since 1974, CORA has operated the Oklahoma City hamfest called Ham Holiday. A hamfest is like a conference for amateur radio operators. Ours happens each year on the fourth weekend in July at the Oklahoma City Community College. Ham Holiday will be held this year on July 25th and 26th, 2025.

Ham Holiday usually draws dozens of amateur radio vendors and about 140 flea market tables. Several radio vendors, like D&L, B&H Sales (formerly Derby Radio Shack), and Associated Radio, bring all kinds of equipment for sale. Other vendors bring antennas, connectors, batteries, and more.

Our hamfest is typically an ARRL-sanctioned state or section event. We usually see our West Gulf Division Director, the Oklahoma Section manager, and more ARRL leaders.

Much more information is available on the HamHoliday.com website.
