Indiana Ham Radio Events & Calendar
What's happening in Indiana amateur radio — hamfests, license exams, on-air events, and the yearly operating calendar. Dates for one-off events change, so we link the official, always-current sources rather than hardcoding them.
Coming up in Indiana: ARRL Field Day is June 27–28, 2026, and the summer–fall hamfest season runs from the Monroe County Hamfest (Bloomington, Jun 13) through the Wabash Valley TurkeyFest (Brazil, Nov 28). See the Hamfests page for the full, dated 2026 list.
