Welcome to the home of the Southwest Florida Hamfest!

We are honored to host the ARRL Southern Florida Sectional Convention at the Southwest Florida Hamfest. For more information on the ARRL, click here.

The Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club (FMARC) is the largest amateur radio club in Southwest Florida. We are an extremely active club for those interested in becoming licensed as well as for hams with all levels of experience. Our educational opportunities and special interest groups are just some ways for our members to explore all the facets of amateur radio. For more information, please click here.

LeeARES(r) works closely with the Lee County Emergency Management Organization to provide backup communications in area shelters and with area first responders in the event of a catastrophic communications failure. For more information, click here.

The Southwest Florida Traffic Net (SWFTN) is the local affiliate, and is sponsored by, the ARRL’s National Traffic System. Its primary function is to handle formal Radiogram messages as part of the NTS. For more information, click here.
