Hamvention 2021 cancelled

Back in November, Hamvention announced their plans to hold a hamfest in
2021. That was, of course, the appropriate thing to do. These things dont
happen overnight, and even though I was a bit skeptical that it would
actually happen, its good to be optimistic.

Unfortunately, Hamvention just announced that the 2021 Hamvention would be
cancelled. This from their website:

Unfortunately, several setbacks in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic
make necessary the difficult decision to cancel Hamvention 2021. Hundreds
of volunteers have been working to do everything necessary to bring this
Hamvention to the many amateur radio enthusiasts and vendors who support
the Dayton Hamvention.

Vaccine distribution both in the United States and around the world is
lagging behind what was planned. In addition, the emergence of a more
communicable form of the COVID-19 virus increases the potential for further
public health problems in the next few months. We make this difficult
decision for the safety of our guests and vendors.

Those who had their tickets, inside booths or flea market spaces deferred
last year will be deferred again. Those who purchased 2021 tickets, inside
booths or flea market spaces will also be deferred. If you desire a refund
instead please email and we will contact you.

Stay tuned for information about a QSO party for the 2021 Hamvention
weekend. We are looking forward to the 2022 Hamvention!!!

Executive Committee, Dayton Hamvention 2021

I was actually feeling a bit optimistic about going this year. Our county
health department has started a waiting list for the vaccine just this
morning, and bright and early (well, early at least, winter here is a dull,
gray affair), I got my name on the list. I was feeling hopeful that Id be
vaccinated by the time Hamvention rolled around. Im still looking forward
to the vaccine, but will have to look even further into the future for the
next Hamvention. Thanks to everyone in the Hamvention organization for
keeping the worlds premiere amateur radio event going.
