Review your experience with Superstition ARC
Great ticket process. Worked well for our club.
Superstition ARC volunteers were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Thank you
The best organization in the valley, and most anywhere else.
It was a good experience.
Easy purchase of admission and raffle tickets on line.
It was a very good fest for me ,a buyer. However attendance is going down at all hamfests. According to a retail vendor from quite a distance away, sales have steadily gone down each year. This year some crazy new rules effected him because he was a retale seller and could not sell used items. A hamfest is all about used items!!!! Don't chase off vendors with crazy rules. Hamfests are shrinking fast enough!!! Also I could not find a link to the exact hamfest address .
Ticket entry was smooth and easy
Alot of fun. Many friends
A talk-in freq would have been handy. The entrance time for venders and tail gaters should have been clearly stated on flyers and tickets. The only published times I saw was general entrance at 0700.. Suggest like this year use the DOBSON entrance which worked well as opposed to last year.... OVERALL the crew did an OUTSTANDING job... Thank you very much and I (WE) look forward to next year.. 73//Foster W4HCX//Jerry N7HYV and Greg KE7NJS
We need more groups like this!
Was difficult to read space numbers on cones since they were placed at back of space, time of day (dark) and adjacent cars/trucks. This could be improved.
The Club did an outstanding job in preparing for this event. I loved the fact we could reserve a selling space prior to the event. Everyone was very helpful and make the event more enjoyable! Keep up the great work!
Excellent hamfest event. Despite issues with PA system everything was run well and I felt it was worth me driving 2 1/2 hours to attend.
This is my first time at your Superfest. I thought it was well attended and I enjoyed the day. Thank you.
👍
That was the most streamlined online ticket purchase for an event of this type I have seen. Hello from the Scottsdale ARC. 73, KJ7PTK
Provides significant bennefit to the the community.
It was a fun day.
To many empty spaces reissue if someone doesn't show up by 7:30 or 8.
A few selected people are the backbone of this event and are to be congratulated for another successful event. Their hard work is appreciated!
Fantastic is all I can say. Great people, Goof foon, Perfect day. THANKS
Very positive.
Great venue, plenty of room to get around and see everything,
Great Ham Fest
Though there weren't that many buyers, the event was run nicely. The best I've experienced so far. Great job everyone!
always a great experience, especially when supporting our Ham craft
Actually, I just bought a ticket online.
Good times for all I'm sure
Glad to be a part of this society and continuing on with the craft

How did you like the event?
Superstition ARC puts on a great ham fest! I just joined the organization Thanks much.
It was nice, i would have enjoyed more actual equipment vendors, other that the usual aged equipment sellers. I enjoy my club and their efforts.
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.
The event was my first time attending it. It was good to see the how many turned out for the event. I plan on attending next year.
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.
Easy online purchase, very convenient.
I could not find a link to the exact hamfest address to click on it and start Google Maps. That would be a simple addition to your web page add. It was a very good hafest for me ,,a buyer. Some of the retail vendors were not so pleased with new rules.
Fun meeting people I talk to
Wish I could have attended in person.
Buying tickets from your outstanding staff at your booth was quick and easy.
5-star
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?
My tickets were broken. I didn’t win anything. LOL
Did I win?
Enjoyed hearing all the stories of everyone who was able to attend
Sounded like a nice event, but again just bought a ticket online.
Merry Christmas
I didn't get to attend unfortunately

Fantastic event, lots of participation by all.
Entertainment could use some work
The event was ok but a talk in freq and entry time for venders and tail- gaters was non-existant. The time for entry was listed as 0700 which was for the general public but an entry time (and set-up) for vendor and tailgaters would have been most helpful published on the tickets and the flyer ! Also show the common repeater in the area for questions would have been very helpful
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
Entry process was efficient and smooth. Food truck was great. Entrainment was a little off key and hard to listen too. Overall a great event!
This was one of largest hamfests I have been to in years. Thanks for doing all this hard work!
I was pleased with the event. I sold most of the gear and books that I had for sale, and I talked with a lot of very nice people.
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.

Great. Picked up a couple great bargains on NOS products. Hams were extremely helpful allowing me to find exactly what I was looking for.
Fantastic
The Mesa Hamfest has always been the big main event. I hope it continues to be so. I found antennas that I was looking for and talked to many hams. I had a very good day. I stayed till 12pm.
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?????
Had a great time and found some good items

Very enjoyable!
Even though I wasn't a winner the prizes were great, maybe next year:)
I was planning on attending the event, but last minute schedule changes prevented me from attending. Reading the receipt from the online sale of raffle tickets, I discovered that I had to attend the event in order to be entered in the raffle. I was surprised to read that after the raffle stated winner does not have to be present.
It's great to win; it's good to support Ham Radio. Thank you Mr. Spears for your work.
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.
The sole food vendor was disappointingly expensive. Everything else was pretty fun. I had no preconceptions. I didn't talk to many people, but I went to observe. Those I did talk to were kind and open. I heard about the event through the "made it through the night" weather net Who I have been listening to most mornings on Broadcastify while studying for my "ticket" and I thought it'd be good to experience what a "ham fest"
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!
Great time and plan to attend next year. -Jason, WV3V
Outstanding as always.
You guys did a great job, Well worth the trip down from the lakeside. We left at 6AM with Ice and snow on the road. The weather and location of your event could not have been better. Give my thanks to all your volunteers! KR1CKF Rick Fernau 5049 High Drive Lakeside, Arizona 85929
Did not like the Grand Prize raffle ticket experience.
Seemed to be well attended.
Good job! Still waiting for my phone call to collect the grand prize! 🏆
A very well run event. I enjoyed attending and being a vendor.
Well the weather was much better this year. it would have been nice to win something besides the free lanyard, LOL.
Always something to do and find.
Great event as usual.
Great time. Been away from the hobby and fun to walk around and see the tailgaters and vendors
well run
It was so great!!!!!!

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.
Waiting for you to be a regional event.
Nice setup and ease of access.
So much fun and interesting--Thank you

It was well organized, and for us, vendors spacing was good.

ALSO A VERY GOOD EVENT !
Had a great time and got to see friends and sell and buy radios!!
I’m sorry but was unable to attend due to illness. I monitored the repeater and all the chatter was positive. Had to unpack my gear and bring it back to my equipment room. Final note, the Club does an amazing job planning and organizing and executing. Looking forward to next year.
Well worth the extra expense to have a premium spot
As a Premium Vendor, we had plenty of attention to our tables and sales went very well.
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.
2nd time to this event, good job everyone. See you next year
