For any DIY'r amateur radio operators out there, this is a fab opportunity to not only show what you have made to support your hobby, but also to see other high tech projects that people have been working on. Free admission to the Faire if you are volunteering at CARA's exhibit. Reach out to Peter VA6RPL 'VA6RPL at techworld.ca' if you have a project you can exhibit, or if you would like to represent amateur radio makers at our CARA booth.

CARA is an exhibitor at the 2026 Maker Faire in Calgary.  The emphasis is not so much on what the various technologies are in amateur radio but more on what we build to support our hobby.

Contact Peter at VA6RPL@techworld.ca if you would like to be an amateur radio representative at our display on the Saturday or Sunday, or to help set up and tear down our display on the Friday and Sunday late afternoon.  We will set up the comm trailer and the CARA market tent.  We also want displays on activities like antenna building, 3D printing, Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, and radio transmission, ... .

The venue is the Acadia Recreation Centre in SE Calgary.
