[arrl-odv:32251] Airline costs
Not to spook anyone, but can we say for sure the meeting is a go for July? I checked airline prices on the day after the EC meeting and again this morning, and they have almost doubled in two weeks. I'm afraid what they may look like in another month or two? ?? Mark, HDX
Mark They are predicted to increase, yet again. ______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Director West Gulf Division Office:512-445-6262 Cell:512-426-2028 P.O.

Quick note. On break from meeting. Yes, in-person Board meeting in Newington/Hartford area. See ODV:32209. Location has not been nailed down. Difficult with COVID considerations. May be at the Farmington Marriott. David and staff still talking to Marriott. I have booked plane ticket.

Thanks for checking and for the heads up, Mark. Holly and I booked 6 trips the others day, only one ARRL related (the Board meeting), and thickets have gone up considerably in the past four weeks. The rental cars are outrageous, too, due to shortage of cars. One of Holly’s travel threads suggested that individuals rent a U-Haul instead of a rental car to drive around in ibecause it is so much cheaper.
