Announcing the first W3PIE SWaP-A-Thon on Saturday, November 15, 2025! This will take place starting at 9 o’clock at the Uniontown Amateur Radio Club, 433 Old Pittsburgh Road, Uniontown, PA 15401.
“SWaP” is the focus on Size, Weight, and Power reduction – a common DoD and EMCOMM concern regarding electronics. We are inviting hams in our area to attend and show off their Go Kits, with an eye on SWaP.
We also want hams to attend that don’t have a Go Kit yet but are looking for workable ideas that pack as much value and functionality into as small a space as possible. Everything in life is a compromise and this event will illustrate how Go Kit designers have balanced their considerations.
Awards will be given for best overall design, smallest footprint, most innovative approach, and more. We’ll also have food and refreshments, plus you’ll have an opportunity to tour our club’s Vintage Radio Museum.
Additional details will soon appear on our web site: www.w3pie.org. For planning purposes, we ask that attendees RSVP via email to [email protected].
We hope to see you there for what will be a fun and edutaining event!
