Superstition ARC Webstore Reviews

 SARC did a great job with the event preparation and vendor/ham club ticket entry process.

 Won 4th prize! DIT

 Nice folks

 Awesome!!!! One of the best ham fests ever been too.

 Well-organized and easy to navigate the web site

 Easy purchase of admission and raffle tickets on line. Excellent Process

 keeping phone images without printing was somewhat difficult. A print to PDF option for a smart phone purchase of tickets would have saved the need to physically print them.

 This is my first ham fest. I feel Eve did a great job of pulling the whole thing together. My hope is next year venders like Yeasu and Icom will have booths there. I was able to meet Josh and Dale and place a face to the call sign. I am my wider caregiver which dose not allow me to get more involved in club activities.

 I think SARC did a very good job putting on this event. My suggestion would be to have two identified lines at the front entrance; one for those buying entries at the door, and one for those of us who had already purchased an entry and only needed to have it verified and get our hand stamped.

 Great sale tables. I joined a club while at the hamfest!

 I didn't like the digital raffle tickets, otherwise a great experience.

 A few dedicated people are the backbone of this event and are to be congratulated for another successful event. Their hard work is appreciated!

 Parking was strange. Don't have a smart phone to do QR codes. Need a damper on the 'echo'...very hard to hear.

 Drove over from San Diego. Ot disappointed

 Good crowd, lots of variety.

 Couldn't be happier with this. Never could have imagined. Thank you!

 I think this was the first time at this venue

 Other than not winning ;-) it was great.

 the Website was not clear to a new visitor like me that there woukd be additional charges for parking and event attendance. Maybe it did say so, as a new person I did not see that.

 Great for my first one. From what I have heard there are some great ideas for next years event.

 I like the app you created. I wish I had known earlier about the available Internet access inside the building; I just happened to stumble upon it when I was looking for an Internet source on my phone after I had already been there for a couple of hours. I liked having the clubs lined up down the main aisle.

 Too noisy, the PA sucked, the turn out what less than I hoped.

 Will come back next year

 As aboveI I did NOT like $ 8.00 parking.

 Sadly, these were not the winning tickets. But I really enjoyed the event, and thought the venue was great. I enjoyed listening to the Net, it added a nice touch.. Well done all around.

 Great event! Thanks

 Event was well run. Good content in the presentations. Reasonably priced. Thank you

 Thumbs up

 Good event, but being handicapped lack of close in handicap parking it was difficult for me to walk from where I was able to park.

 First time going. Been a ham for a minute. Next year I think I'll have to go as a vendor.

 Did not have the right "vibe" for a hamfest. Too commercial, too sterile. Not fun. Parking experience/cost and lack of trunk sales was also a negative.

 I had another commitment that morning and didn't get there until about noon. I was disappointed to see that people were packing up and leaving. It seems I was penalized for not showing up right at 9:00 a.m. I stayed for the 1:00 talk, but the audio in that building was really bad. The Ambien noise in the building from people moving chairs and tables and trolleys was so bad. I could barely understand what the gentleman was saying.

 It was a great event, looking forward to more hams attending the tailgating areas. The items that need attention are the sound quality of the event hall. There was too much echoing which made it hard to hear people 2 feet away. The hall needs sound dampening. The loud speaker system was too loud from a single set of speakers. I suggest multiple speakers spread throughout the hall rather than a single set. Parking - that was a bit confusing....

 The sound was incomprehensible.

 Good overall. Some fine points on booth arrangements need to be worked out to avoid others from setting up in a way that impacts adjoining booth area. Tables should be set utilizing only the aisle area of their booth or in a way that does not cause people to step into other peoples reserved area. Happened on both sides of our two booths.

 I hate indoor swap meets. Too much noise. I'd rather be on the tailgate of my truck and be able to access my vehicle. Parking registration was BS. Sound system sucked. Very convoluted. Check in blocked the door for vendor entry. Take us back to the parking lot!!!

 Great hamfest!!! I had several friends that didn’t want to go because they said they didn’t like the change in venue. I told all of them they missed out on a great Hamfest. I have been going to the Superstion ARC Hamfest for over 35 years n very missed a year. Your new venue was a good upgrade congratulations to the organizers job well done. I’m looking forward to next year. 73’s Jim KD7KL

 As a Vendor, I had little time to enjoy the rest of the event, but no surprise.

 Easy online purchase, very convenient.

 Didn't get to go last year

 An excellent event.

 line moved fast because had many sign-in stations/operators

 Superstition ARC puts on a great ham fest! I just joined the organization Thanks much.

 Heard complaints about the pre-sale of spaces for vendors, in that people that wanted to get spaces the day of, didn't know they could pre-buy the spaces, and spaces were sold out even though some never showed up, or appeared to be available... Always a great event though.

 It is one of the better amateur radio events in the area, and with good weather it's a must see event for us hams.

 Fun meeting people I talk to

 Buying tickets from your outstanding staff at your booth was quick and easy.

 Maybe next year you could hold a junk auction, like they used to at the Flagstaff Hamfest. Where do we see the winners of the raffle prises? (Not obvious.) Where's the 'Submit' button?

 Did I win?

 Sounded like a nice event, but again just bought a ticket online.

 Nice enough space the way you allowed us to have. was surpised by the little 6' tables but, I resolved it by using every table that I brought. My location was fine and allowing us to drive-in was wonderful for us old guys!

 Great venue, lots of sellers!

 Fantastic event, lots of participation by all.

 Layout needs improvement. Lots of empty spaces. Sellers that only need one space should be able to reserve just one. Person arrived with a load & was not allowed in despite an abundance of empty spaces. No one benefited from that and seller will probably never return, Singing to honor Pearl Harbor was a disaster. Please keep loudspeakers at a volume that is harmful to our hearing. Some of us are very mindful about hearing loss. ARCA mtg had no directions + bad location

 This was one of largest hamfests I have been to in years. Thanks for doing all this hard work!

 There needs to be an exit for the vendors. I had a difficulty moving my truck to the parking lot after unloading. I really like all the prep work done by the staff.

 Fantastic

 It’s a great event I always attend, new venue has teething issues

 Great. Picked up a couple great bargains on NOS products. Hams were extremely helpful allowing me to find exactly what I was looking for.

 The event last year was much better. Better selection of "Vendors". I know this year has been tough for alot of folks especially when it ccomes to finances but I expected a better selection of vendors and instead found a lot of folks just selling stuff that was clurttering up their living space. Importantly I think you need to advise your vendors/sellers of how important it is to have a payment option other than cash. Who goes to an open air swapmeet carying cash?????

 I suppose you think I needed the exercise, what a great workout. This event has a great draw but the layout inside was all backwards. By putting all the tailgate vendors AS FAR AS POSSIBLE from the access door is why I will NOT reconsider this event if you don't change the load in and load out at this location. Why did you put the Red Cross as close to the door as possible? They could drive in and out! Why couldn't all the vehicles be parked at the FAR END!

 Easy online purchase, very convenient. I had a good time looking at the items for sale. I was able to eyeball QSO with several friends I hadn't seen in a couple of years.

 .

 As 2024, I sold many items for an SK hams XYL

 Even though I wasn't a winner the prizes were great, maybe next year:)

 I got there after it warmed up and things were kind of winding down. I always like the the turnout and the size is the biggest of the year. Thanks for keeping Ham radio going.

 Great time and lots to look at! Couldn't find coffee and Bosa donuts anywhere. Was disappointed that HRO didn't have a booth as they have supported radio for so many years. Thanks, guys!

 Outstanding as always.

 Seemed to be well attended.

 A very well run event. I enjoyed attending and being a vendor.

 Always something to do and find.

 Great time. Been away from the hobby and fun to walk around and see the tailgaters and vendors

 So much fun and interesting--Thank you

 I have never been disappointed in the Superstition Superfest and I am going to to get my Foxhunt equipment ready this time around on November 15 and wondering if it will be indoors or outdoors on the Athletic Grounds.

 Nice setup and ease of access.

 And so its nice to have an inside event, especially if it rains, but

 Better than this year.

 Had a great time and got to see friends and sell and buy radios!!

 Well worth the extra expense to have a premium spot

 horrible experiece purchasing of tickets. too many hoops to jump through . in my opinion the premium sites were a bad idea. did not get any better traffic or sales than rest of swap spaces, whoever you paid for the order system did a lousy job and probably was too expensive given the results. go back to all swap spaces.
