Colleagues,

The Augusta Amateur Radio Assn has requested ARRL sanction for a Hamfest to be held September 11, 2021, 0800-1200. Augusta is the state capitol in Maine (but you knew that from 6^th grade, didn’t you?). It will be held at the Windsor (ME) Fairgrounds.

I have no idea if Maine will be well vaccinated by September, and I am reluctant to approve a Hamfest by then.

Do you think I should approve it?
