Ham Radio gatherings are called Hamfests.  The one I recently attended was 
called Quartzfest and is held yearly in that RV Mecca, Quartzsite, 
Arizona.  Thousands of acres of free camping and as many as a million 
people spend the winter in the Arizona sunshine.  Take a look at my journal 
for some of what we did, a solid week of radio talk, classes, 
demonstrations.  Pure Nirvana for a tech weeniw\e like myself.
