I agree with Bud on this. The setup in Denver was ideal I think. With that in mind, are we really married to Windsor for the next meeting? If another venue can provide better safety measures I wouldn’t mind going there instead. Ria N2RJ On Wed, Mar 10, 2021 at 12:14 PM W2RU - ARRL <W2RU@arrl.org> wrote:
I agree with Kermit, but I would not make planning a hybrid meeting “conditional” on anything — I suggest that any in-person July Board and Committee meetings should be planned and implemented as hybrid meetings from the beginning. Far easier and safer to let some remote-participation electronics gear sit idle than to attempt to jerry-rig a hybrid set-up at the last minute. (Yes, I understand there is a cost associated with a hybrid set-up.) Also, for the time being, at least, I believe microphones at an in-person meeting should not be shared.

Hello ALL -
I do agree that the shot will provide a path forward to allow controlled group gatherings with vaccinated individuals. Similarly I plan to be vaccinated as soon as possible - but there might be some people who are on the shot-clock after long-term symptoms of infections, who for medical reasons will be delayed in obtaining the vaccinations.
I do happen to be in that group and the advice that I have been given for a possible timeline might allow for the two-week wait until full efficacy after the second application of the Pfizer vaccine. If in my case that timeline does not hold and for anyone else similarly unable to travel to Newington then I certainly would demand that the technical details of a hybrid meeting be implemented.
Best Regards,
