Hello to all…

The 2025 Northeast HamXposition and ARRL New England Division Convention will be held from Thursday Evening 8/21/25-Sunday 8/24/25. There will be many interesting forums at this year’s convention. For complete information on this Amateur Radio Convention, please see the following link:

The Convention is honored and privileged that Matt and Danielle Noyes will return and provide an update on their digital weather venture, 1Degree Outside. They will be presenting about their latest updates and ventures for their new company and have entered into a partnership with the WX1BOX Amateur Radio SKYWARN team on SKYWARN surface reporting during severe weather. They will discuss the new partnership and the vital role Amateur Radio & non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotters play with surface reporting during severe weather events and how they incorporate the data into their operations.

We will also have a SKYWARN/ARES/RACES table at the Convention as we have had going back to the late 1990s. In addition, there will be several SKYWARN and weather related topics including SKYWARN Training and Advanced Topics in SKYWARN presentation with new material added for this year which will be taught by KD1CY-Rob Macedo, Eastern Mass ARES SEC & SKYWARN Coordinator.

A list of the key SKYWARN and weather related presentations for Northeast HamXposition are listed below:

Friday 8/22/25:
100 PM: SKYWARN Spotter training by KD1CY-Rob Macedo

Saturday 8/23/25:

There are many other topics related to ARES and Emergency Communications at the convention. The full schedule of presentations can be seen here:

The Convention also features a full Amateur Radio Flea Market and Amateur Radio vendors. For those that maybe interested in getting their Amateur Radio license, the convention has a “Tech in a Day” class on Saturday 8/23/25 and several Volunteer Examiner (VE) test sessions as listed on the schedule.

We hope many from the Amateur Radio community and even those outside of the Amateur Radio community can attend and see the SKYWARN/Weather related presentations and for those that might be interested in getting their Amateur Radio license, use the convention as an opportunity to get licensed by preparing ahead of time or take advantage of the Tech-In-A-Day licensing class offered. Thanks to all for their support!
