VENDOR PORTAL INSTRUCTIONS

October 27th is only days away! Our vendor tables for this year's hamfest are sold out. to be placed on a waiting list for possible cancellations please email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

 

Step 1- Click here to view the hamfest map: MAP. The tables are arranged in rows A through F. Tables are numbered. Tables in gray are available.

Step 2- Access the portal here: Vendor portal (conventionforce.com).

Step 3- Set up an account profile for yourself. Once you have created your profile you will be presented with an option to view the map and select a table(s). When setting up your profile all the info with a red * is necessary. Your profile contains the same information already available on QRZ with the exception of your phone number. Your company name is your callsign, and your business type is "Hamfest Vendor."

Step 4- Visit interactive map. Choose your table(s) from the available spots. The available spots are colored green. When a spot is taken the table becomes "greyed out" and is unavailable for purchase. See the photo here of what the map looks like. Spots with names and orange backgrounds are taken.

Step 5- After selecting your table you will be directed to add the number of tickets you wish (see bottom of the page) to purchase and then be given the opportunity to check out. Check out after adding the number of tickets you need.

Please note you may return to the map, if you wish, to add another table. You may add as many tables and tickets as you like, but you must have at least one (1) ticket to buy a table. 

Step 6- Check out. At the top of the page you will need to type 3 things into the box to purchase- your card number, the expiration date (MM/YY), and your 3-digit code from the back of your card. Note- AMEX has a 4-digit code on front of your card.

The actual secure transaction is processed by Stripe. You may complete your transaction on Stripe's secure server. Our club never sees your credit card information. You will immediately receive a receipt. 

Last year’s vendors: If you pre-reserved your table from last year you will not be able to pay for your tables and tickets in the Convention Force app. Instead you may pay your table and tickets by sending a check or by credit card through this link: https://buy.stripe.com/9AQ6s36Ve9oN4ggbII.

Check payments to:

Massillon ARC

Attn: Gerry Sorensen, Secretary

921 17th St., NE

Notes:

Once a table has been purchased it is yours. No one else can claim that table.

You must have at least one (1) ticket to participate. You may purchase any number of tables or tickets, however.

 

If you run into difficulty or would rather I reserve the table(s) for you, please email Gerry at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I will be very happy to help.

Our partners are those ham radio related businesses that support this hobby and this hamfest. Without their generosity we wouldn't be able to bring you this world-class hamfest. These businesses, small and larger, have made a commitment to give back to the ham radio community in a real, tangible way and enable us to complete our mission of promoting the world's greatest hobby in our community and beyond. 

Please support these fine businesses when making ham radio related purchases. We thank them sincerely for their sponsorship of the 2024 MARC Hamfest at MAPS!

Sunday, 10/27/24, the Massillon Amateur Radio Club (MARC) will return to MAPS (Military Air Preservation Society hangar) in Green Ohio. This year's Grand Door Prize is the best-selling Yaesu FT-DX10. A big thanks to our sponsor DX Engineering for partnering with us and making this amazing grand prize happen! Another first-class hamfest is on its way!

 

Heard last year...

"Hi guys, just wanted to let you know what a great time I had at your hamfest yesterday. About six of us from the Pittsburgh area made the trip. This was my first time being there and I was very impressed with the venue and the hospitality that your club showed during the hamfest. I was very surprised at the number of people in attendance along with the number of sellers."

-Curt McCormick, WU3U

 

"I attend this hamfest every and I always enjoy it greatly. I have made some fine purchases over the years, and I am still using them. One year I won a G-90 which has amazingly very good performance and features such as an SWR sweep and built-in antenna tuner."

Best regards,

John - WO3X

 

Attention Vendors! Sold Out!

 

This year's hamfest vendor tables are sold out. To be placed on a standby list please email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

 

You may access the map, tables, and tickets through our online Vendor Portal: https://portal.conventionforce.com/index.cfm?aid=721.

Everything, including prices, is exactly the same this year as last with a couple of exceptions:

1. A master list of vendors will be distributed to the vendor’s check-In table. This should make check-in easier for those who forget to bring their paperwork with them.

2. A special drawing will be held at 1pm (hamfest close) to include all those vendors who stayed through the entire swap. There will be 3 prizes (gas cards- $50, $30 and $20) awarded to 3 winning vendors. Please note that you will also, as always, be included in the regular door prize drawings.

As of 9/1 the interactive map and table sales go online. At that point anyone may begin to block off tables and pay for them there."
