Greater Houston HamFest 2021 Cancelled:

With the current rise in COVID-19 infecons over the last few weeks,
the Board of Directors of Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club, the
sponsor of GHHF, have decided to cancel the 2021 event.
The demographics of the amateur radio community is extremely
vulnerable to the e/ects of COVID-19 and even if the event was held
in an outside venue can sll expose members of the amateur radio
community. With this in mind, the Board of Directors cannot in good
conscious hold an event that might expose anyone to the virus.
The event will be rescheduled for March 4 & 5, 2022 so mark your
calendars.
