Mahameet was started in the year 2003 with a goal of arranging eyeball meetings without collecting entry fees. This has been going on every year except 2021 & 2022 due to COVID restrictions during those two years. The 21st edition was held in 2025. The meet is held on the second Saturday of February and the next meet is scheduled to be held on 14-Feb-2026.
There are links to photos taken during the previous meet. Photos were taken by VU2VAU, OM Srini and VU3ZVM OM Giri
This site is hosted for free in google sites (sites.google.com) and the domain name mahameet.in is paid for. Google sites hosting comes free along with the GMail account and provides a great platform for amateur radio operators like us to host content on the world wide web. Google also facilitates attaching of a custom domain name to our site. The domain name costs money and can be purchased from a provider. It is not compulsory to have a domain name for your site, if you do not mind the address of your site starting with "sites.google.com/view". The Google sites address of this site is https://sites.google.com/view/mahameet/ and the domain https://www.mahameet.in is connected to it. You may connect to this site directly as well as through the custom domain mahameet.in which of course, is easier to remember. There are many amateur radio websites around the world, hosted on Google Sites without using a custom domain name.
