Dear friends,
at the end of January 2020 I sent out a list of coming SW and DX meetings of this year. At that time the corona virus was already active in China, but no one had a real clue of how big an effect it would have in the everyday life in the whole world.
Now in mid-March we know of that and everybody is aware that travelling as well as having sports events, art events or meetings is quite restricted. Many of the meetings mentioned on the list have already been cancelled or postponed. Today we don't have an idea how long this exceptional time will last and when we'll be able to return to normal (or even nearly normal) duties and actions.
I enclose a copy of the list. There are a couple of amendments and updates (that came up before the Corona virus crisis escalated). But I'm sure everybody will check the current details of the planned meetings on the websites to have up-to-date information.
Hoping for better conference year 2021!
