*Hello All,*
Large indoor gatherings such as our convention are currently prohibited 
by Massachusetts state law.
This is highly unlikely to change by November. Unfortunately, we will 
not be able to hold a physical
convention this year.

However, we do plan some virtual activities, all free.  We are currently 
working on the details for these
and will keep you posted as they develop:

*We plan to the operate the W1A special event station over the weekend 
of October 31st - November 1st.*
/To avoid a conflict with the November Sweepstakes, we moved this to one 
week earlier./
W1A will be operated from the operator's home stations. Dennis, W1UE, is 
coordinating the
schedule. *If you would like to be a W1A operator, please contact W1UE 
by email at w1ue at hamxposition.org.*
For those who would like to work W1A, we will be posting the operating 
schedule once it is ready.
Note that this will give regular attendees the unique opportunity to 
work W1A (something which would have
been more difficult for many to do operating portable from a hotel room).

*We will also be hosting a Saturday evening virtual banquet on November 
7th, featuring a guest speaker.*
There will be no charge for this event.  Order your favorite take-out or 
delivery, pull up a chair to your screen,
and join your friends for an interesting presentation.  After the talk, 
virtual break-out rooms will be available
for you to converse with your "table".

*The Nashua Area Radio Club will be running an online version of the 
"Ham Boot Camp".*
This is a multisession program for hams young and old to learn about the 
various activities they can do with
their license.  Details to follow.

*Eastern Mass ARES will be running online versions of their training 
sessions.*
Details to follow.


*From the entire HamXposition committee, * we wish you good health, be 
safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone in
person at our *2021 convention on July 23-24-25, 2021.*
*
*

*73,*
*Bob - K1IW*
*Chairman, HamXposition 2020*
