I've been concerned about that.

I already have my tickets and my hotel booked.
I'm going to be pissed if they cancel

The Hamvention in Xenia Ohio the weekend of May 15-17 has NOT BEEN CANCELED.

I am sure they are watching closely and preparing for the possibility.
There was a scheduled event in Toledo I attend every year. It was the 66th annual this year planned on the first weekend of April. After many vendor cancellations, it was cancelled this past Wednesday.
If this all blows over in the next 3 weeks, it will likely go on as scheduled. If it continues, not likely any events like this will go on.
it’s sad the media has blown this so far out of proportion. H1N1 was far worse in terms of cases and deaths.

The Hamvention Executive Committee has been monitoring the COVID19 pandemic. We have worked very closely with our local and state health Departments.
It is with a very heavy heart the Hamvention Executive Committee has decided to cancel Hamvention for this year.
This decision is extremely difficult for us but with around two months until the Great Gathering we felt this action necessary.
More specific details regarding the closure will soon be posted on our website www.hamvention.org.
Thank you for your understanding in this time of International Crisis.

I just got the email. Website confirms it.

just saw this pop up on Facebook as well. Also saw the NRA Convention is cancelled. I assume that was posted somewhere on here before, but I got a letter in the mail about it and just decided to check the NRA site with the idea of registering. Unfortunately nothing to register for!

Translation: "We felt this necessary because if we wait too long we might lose more money. This far out we can cancel a lot of stuff without any cancellation fees."

Columbus Indiana Hamfest is set for April 4th at the Bartholomew County Fairgrounds....

So far it is still a go.

Attendence will be less than a lot of the little gun shows.........

Since Dayton is a no go I’ll be there if it doesn’t get canned before then.

I just read on an email from Indianapolis Radio club that Columbus has been cancelled.
One of the Columbus club announced it on a net last night.

Maybe someone here can help me with this.

I have a old Kenwood TS- something. . . I would like to set up, however I need to get an antenna for it. Living in a sub-division I can not put up a tower or have anything too large attached to the roof. Is there an antenna out there I can hook to the side of the house which would not stick out to much to the neighborhood busy bodies.

What bands? and lots of folks use temporary antennas and tear them down when not in use.

 

[Notalentbum]

If it is a UHF/VHF radio, a DBJ-1 is an excellent antenna at only $40 shippped. It is a 5’ long piece of 3/4” pvc pipe that you buy at Lowes or wherever and the antenna is put inside it. I’m currently using one inside my attic but as soon as I can, it is going out on the peak of my roof until the HOA makes me remove it!

Sometimes the whole ham license thing can trump hoa rules. That being said you could possibly do a wire antenna from house to tree. Doubt anyone would notice

 

[PistolBob]

For those of you into CW communications, the 40m band seems to be decent this morning.

Nice. I am in Hendricks county with a tech license with an HT and mobile. I would like to get more acquainted with the equipment and processes.

I would welcome any info I could get.

Any particular questions? What kind of radios do you have?

 

[abraham743]

My mobile is a kenwood tmv71a and my HT is a yaesu ft 70 d. I have stumbled across a couple of nets in the past and was not really sure what they were about. I probably just need to participate in one of the clubs.
