HamCon: Zion 2024[1], hosting the ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Convention, the
Young Ladies Radio League 85th Convention, and the RV Radio Network's 2024
Western Rally, was a success. The inaugural event, held in St. George, Utah,
was well attended and many reported the facility and events were first rate.�

ARRL National Instructor Gordon West, WB6NOA, was in the ARRL booth greeting
visitors and gave a presentation. ARRL Treasurer John Sager, WJ7S, hosted the
ARRL forum at the event. "The vibe was definitely positive, and I think ARRL
was very well represented. Gordo was a rockstar! He had a crowd around him
everywhere he went," said Sager.�

The HamCon:Zion Facebook page[2] has several video updates from Ryan
Seegmiller, W7RGS, shot during the event. A brief power outage affecting much
of the area caused the gathering to wind down a few minutes prematurely. The
event was organized by the Dixie Amateur Radio Club (DARC) in St. George, an
ARRL Affiliated Club. It was the group's first large convention, but plans are
already in the works for the next one.�
