It is held each June on the northwest side of the Atlanta area and draws attendees from all over the southeast. Since 2001, it has been held at the Jim R. Miller Park Fairgrounds in Cobb County.

The event offers a wide variety of activities and educational forums geared towards the newst of hams as well as the most seasoned such as beginner info forums, antenna builds, radio astronomy, portable operations, and emergency communications.
