The Cuyahoga Falls ARC (CFARC) Hamfest, held on April 11th, 2026, once again brought together a vibrant community of radio enthusiasts—with attendance exceeding 600 participants.
We were honored to support this year’s event through a donation of Talkpod radios. To encourage youth participation, the organizers opened the Talkpod prize draw to attendees under 25 years old. The result was truly inspiring: six young winners—three boys and three girls—walked away with Talkpod radios, some already licensed operators, others just beginning their journey.
🎉 Talkpod Winners at CFARC Hamfest:
- Christen Cole
- Alex Annichine (KE8YBX)
- Addyson McKinney
- Kennedy Lucas
- Nathan Killion
- Chris Chapman (AC8NN)
In a heartwarming moment, one winner brought along her twin sister—who was also invited to take home a special prize, adding an extra touch of joy to the day.
More than just a giveaway, this was a celebration of community, curiosity, and the future of amateur radio. Seeing the smiles of these young participants reminded us why supporting events like CFARC Hamfest matters.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Cuyahoga Falls ARC for organizing such a successful event and for giving Talkpod the opportunity to contribute.
At Talkpod, we believe the future of radio starts with moments like these.
