Join Us for an Open House & Ham Radio Equipment Sale!

The Des Moines Radio Amateurs Association is hosting a special Open House and Pre-Hamfest Equipment Sale on Saturday, April 19th, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Fort Des Moines Museum and Education Center, located at 75 E. Army Post Road, Des Moines, IA. Overflow parking is available in the large parking lot across the street from the museum parking lot.

Stop by to browse a selection of radio equipment and other related gear, available for purchase. The club has received items from various sources and will be selling surplus equipment to support our club station and programs. All items are sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. All sales are final.

Enjoy complimentary donuts and coffee (while supplies last)! Donations are welcome to help cover costs. While there’s no admission fee, we encourage you to sign the visitor log at the museum and consider donating a few dollars to support their efforts.

This is a one-time opportunity to find amazing deals before our Hamfest on April 26th, with only some of the unsold items from the Open House being available at the larger event.

We look forward to seeing you there!
