[PPRAANet] MegaFest cancellation question

[Dennis]

My apologies, Leianna!

I didn't mean to sound so critical - that's what I get from not 
rereading it a couple times before hitting the Send button. (While I was 
typing my email, the CRA Swapfest email came in, so I checked it. 
Included the postscript in case it had been missed, but I understand how 
it possibly didn't make it to the right person in time!)

Unfortunately, I had to miss the meeting on Wednesday. Then I saw a few 
emails, from the CMRG group reflector, mentioning the cancellation. 
Hence my concerns. Late this afternoon, I received an email from another 
ham who asked me what I knew about it, and that prompted me to ask since 
I still had not seen any reflector notice about it.

Thank you very much for the explanation!
