A NOTE from the 2025 Knoxville Hamfest Director, Lou WB3JKQ:

"Thanks for a great Hamfest with an estimated attendance of 705 attendees.  Have not seen over 600 attendance in the last 15 years.  We could not have done it without the many RACK members who helped Friday setup and Saturday running the Hamfest.  We appreciate the support of ARRL and their convention.  Thanks for all the inside vendors (30+) and outside tailgators (80+) who make this a great Hamfest.  Finally, thanks to Wallace Memorial Baptist Church for an excellent facility and food service.  For you tailgators who stayed outside, you missed some great forums, fellowship, deals and food."  -- Lou  (WB3JKQ)
