</div>
<br>
<div dir="ltr"><b>Hello All,</b>
<div>Large indoor gatherings such as our convention are currently
prohibited by Massachusetts state law.</div>
<div>This is highly unlikely to change by November.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to hold a physical</div>
<div>convention this year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, we do plan some virtual activities, all free. We
are currently working on the details for these</div>
<div>and will keep you posted as they develop:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>We plan to the operate the W1A special event station over
the weekend of October 31st - November 1st.</b></div>
<div><i>To avoid a conflict with the November Sweepstakes, we
moved this to one week earlier.</i></div>
<div>W1A will be operated from the operator's home stations.
Dennis, W1UE, is coordinating the </div>
<div>schedule. <b> If you would like to be a W1A operator, please
contact W1UE by email at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:w1ue@hamxposition.org">w1ue@hamxposition.org</a>.</b></div>
<div>For those who would like to work W1A, we will be posting the
operating schedule once it is ready.</div>
<div>Note that this will give regular attendees the unique
opportunity to work W1A (something which would have </div>
<div>been more difficult for many to do operating portable from a
hotel room).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>We will also be hosting a Saturday evening virtual banquet
on November 7th, featuring a guest speaker.</b></div>
<div>There will be no charge for this event. Order your favorite
take-out or delivery, pull up a chair to your screen,</div>
<div>and join your friends for an interesting presentation. After
the talk, virtual break-out rooms will be available</div>
<div>for you to converse with your "table".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>The Nashua Area Radio Club will be running an online
version of the "Ham Boot Camp".</b></div>
<div>This is a multisession program for hams young and old to
learn about the various activities they can do with</div>
<div>their license. Details to follow.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Eastern Mass ARES will be running online versions of their
training sessions.</b></div>
<div>Details to follow.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>From the entire HamXposition committee, </b> we wish you
good health, be safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone in</div>
<div>person at our <b>2021 convention on July 23-24-25, 2021.</b></div>
