[W2CRA] *** Cherryville Hamfest Cancelled ***

[George]

de AC2NX

all:

  It occurred to me that our vendors, and even buyers, who might be coming from a distance and not have gotten our cancellation notice, could be enroute several hours before our opening times.  Should we perhaps be QSTing our cancellation starting at whatever time such folks might be within range of receiving our repeater?  perhaps an hour or more before?

                                                              G.

I’ll take the first radio watch from 6 am on. If someone can relieve me at some point, that would be appreciated.

We will need 3 or more club members to address the people who may have not received word of our cancellation.  A minimum of two people to work the entrances of the High School to turn people around and go home. Best case would be four people to do this so it can be done in shifts.  Perhaps 6-9am and 9am-12pm.  I will be taking an early shift and arrive at the High School at 6am.   Similarly, if we have have a couple people to man 375 and send out periodic messages between 6am and 12pm that would be great.  Best to also divide this into 2 shifts also.  Please let me know if you can assist.
