 BayCon 2021 - The Annual BayNet Radio Conference - Saturday February 6

This year BayCon 2021 will be virtual and hosted on Zoom.  This will be a little different but we will make it a great event.  One big advantage is that this opens up the event for *anyone* to attend !  BayCon is open to anyone interested in ham radio.    We have lined up some great guest speakers and are still working on the detailed agenda and finalizing the speakers.  We are expecting to have about 8 great talks on a wide variety of topics from radios to antennas, operating, DIY, etc.
Speakers will include David KI6ZHD, Doug K6JEY, Marcel AI6MS, Alan Wolke, Mike VA3MW, Rex KE6MT and more.
More details will be published in December.
