ARRL New Mexico State Convention Sept. 20-22, 2019



Albuquerque Duke City Hamfest
and Convention
'It's a HamFiesta!'
Meal Menus and Banquet Information
Join us for our free Friday night mixer, as well as our annual Saturday DX/Contesting Breakfast, Saturday Night Banquet, and Sunday morning breakfast. Each of these meals requires advance sign-up on our convention registration form. If you bypass meals the first time but have second thoughts, you can sign up for them later using the form's "Add Items" function. The mixer and each prepaid meal include a guest speaker and a raffle. Each registrant for a meal receives a ticket for that meal's raffle. These prepaid meals help us meet Isleta's food-and-beverage minimums for our convention, which in turn allows us to keep our costs to you stable. If you already have registered but want to add meals, use the main registration form and select "Adding items" from the drop-down menu at the top of the form.
In addition, this year we will have three pay-on-the-spot meals: Breakfast Friday morning, and Friday and Saturday lunches. All meals will be served in Ballroom A. For meal times, menus, and our guest speakers, check out the descriptions below.
Friday Breakfast, Friday and Saturday Lunches
All of our meals are available inside the convention area for your convenience. Find a cozy spot to munch and to chat with friends. In an all-day session? They break for lunch, too. All meals will be served in Ballroom A.
