Hello Ria and Jeff

    I did hear a similar idea just a few days ago - that suggestion was for an activity/contest for longer period.... the suggestion mentioned was for a longer period than a weekend. But it looks like there would be lot of us on the air. Something that promotes amateur comradere would certainly be a nice diversion from the isolation and tension...

I also received a suggestion from a member that the League should
sponsor a "Hamvention" event on-the-air for the now vacant (available?)
weekend. I forwarded it on to Barry. The member and I continued a
discussion about other possibilities for local or state-wide on-the-air
events to keep folks busy while we're limiting our group get-togethers.
We've had canceled club meetings and swapfests across the division as
have others.
