Charleston Hamfest CANCELLED this SAT March 14TH!!!!
« on: March 12, 2020, 2046 UTC »
FROM: Mike, NU8LL,     FYI:

I just received formal notice from one of the hamfest committee members that the Charleston hamfest has been cancelled for this year.

I am sorry to hear this.  I was still planning to attend.  But I stand behind their decision, as they do it in the best interests of everyone.

Please feel free to pass this information on, as it is a late announcement.

73,
Mike
NU8LL
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

I would expect to see similar events cancelled in the coming weeks and months.

Our first hamfest of the season is April 25th, I suspect it too will get cancelled. A large gathering of older men, many with chronic medical conditions, sounds like a buffet for the virus.

My wife and I went to the Mansfield (Ohio) Hamfest last month and I saw a gentleman sitting at a table with a mask on. He did have a hand written note on the table that said he had a lung issue, can't remember if it was a transplant now, but did state he was not sick. I though that was very interesting at the time.
