RadioActivity 2019 will be held in the same hotel as last year at the Sheraton College Park North Hotel in Beltsville, Maryland.
The theme will feature Shortwave Broadcasting.
The Sheraton College Park North Hotel (formerly the Sheraton Washington North Hotel) is located off of Exit 29B (Rt. 212) of I-95 between Washington and Baltimore, at 4095 Powder Mill Road, Beltsville, Maryland, 20705. The hotel is on the southwest corner of the interchange.
Again this year, we have avoided holding our event on the same weekend as the ARRL Field Day weekend, an event in which many ham operators like to participate.
