[TriEmbed] RARSfest cancelled

[Pete Soper]

Maybe Cary could make a virtual hamfest with Zoom. I have a killer document camera to "show my wares" and could show other's stuff too (after quarantining it for some days). Folks could share their creations, and yack and yack. (Zoom supports "meeting rooms" to partition folks into workable groups. But the "Zoom-master" would have to be a savant octopus with multiple brains and 50 eyes.) Pete

If the RARSfest is postponed to a new date I'll contact you all again to see if we want to participate.Here is a statement from the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society:We are sad to announce that the 48th annual RARSfest/Roanoke Division
