 The theme will feature GENERAL ELECTRIC.

The Sheraton College Park North Hotel (formerly the Sheraton Washington North Hotel) is located off of Exit 29B (Rt. 212) of I-95 between Washington and Baltimore, at 4095 Powder Mill Road, Beltsville, Maryland, 20705. The hotel is on the southwest corner of the interchange.

This years auctions will include numerous items from the Holland Estate. These include some very nice and unique American and European radios, ham gear, horn speakers, hi-fi gear, and rare tubes. Click on the "RadioActivity 2017 Pre-Auction Picts" to the right for photos.

This year's RadioActivity raffle will include some very nice radios. These include the U.S. Army R-520/URR Zenith Trans-Oceanic from 1953/54, and a Crosley Fiver (specifically a model 515) from 1935. Tickets will sell for $5 each or three tickets for $10. Click on the "RadioActivity 2017 Raffle Radio Picts" to the right for photos.

 By changing hotels we avoided holding our event on the same weekend as the ARRL Field Day weekend, an event in which many ham operators like to participate.

RadioActivity 2017 Old Equipment Contest (OEC)

Note: This is the latest update. Some categories have been slightly modified, but all entries are still covered none the less due to the Open category.

Selection of the theme for each of MAARC’s annual summertime grand meets (called RadioActivity since about 1994) is always a challenge. The directors of the club agonize and quibble about it each year. In June 2017, the theme will be GENERAL ELECTRIC (GE).

At any rate, here are the Old Equipment Contest Categories for RadioActivity 2017:

RadioActivity 2017 Theme Categories: 

1. GE radios pre-1936 

2. GE radios post-1935

3. GE ephemera
