Ham Radio Hub at SecretCon 2026

Come Find Us at SecretCon

The Ham Radio Village is bringing radios, RF, and hands-on wireless experimentation to SecretCon 2026.

Whether you’re licensed or just curious, stop by the Ham Radio Hub to see how communication works beyond Wi-Fi and cell networks. We’ll have live stations, demos, and people ready to help you get on the air.

No experience required—just curiosity.

• Live HF Station – Make a contact or see how long-distance radio works
• SSTV Demos – Watch images transmitted over RF in real time
• Local RF Activity – Bring a radio and join in
• HamStack Deployment – Our portable RF + network stack in action

Operators will be around all day to walk you through everything.
