Many years ago, amateur radio clubs in the Oklahoma City area started an event known as the “All Ham Dinner.” This dinner allows about 70 hams to get together, eat dinner, and communicate with each other. This dinner is held on the third Thursday of January, May, and September at 6:30 p.m. No RSVP is needed; show up and join the fun. The next May dinner is May 9, 2024. This dinner will probably be at the Hibachi Buffet in South OKC. The location and more information are available at this link.
To spread the load and fun of hosting these dinners, the member clubs of the Central Oklahoma Radio Amateurs (CORA) take turns organizing the event. This means that each club sponsors one of the dinners every two years. The hosting club selects the location and arranges a restaurant to host those who attend. The host club also makes a presentation and then facilitates a round-robin discussion by all clubs. This allows each club to present its recent activities or request assistance at a future event.
