Dayton Hamvention 2020 has been canceled   
Thursday, March 19 2020

Dayton Hamvention 2020 has been canceled
-------------------------------------
For the first time in its 68-year history, Dayton Hamvention, the largest
US amateur radio fair, will not take place this year due to the spread of
the corona virus.

The gloomy news was not entirely unexpected, given the widespread
cancellation of public gatherings and President Trump's proclamation of
a national emergency on March 13.

"The Hamvention Executive Committee has been monitoring the COVID19
pandemic. We have worked very closely with our local and state health
departments. The Hamvention Executive Committee has decided with a very
heavy heart to cancel Hamvention this year," said Hamvention general manager
Jack Gerbs, WB8SCT, on March 15th. "This decision is extremely difficult for
us, but with about two months' notice, we thought this would be necessary.

More details on the closure will be released shortly. Thank you for your
understanding in this time of international crisis."

Dayton Hamvention's cancellation is less than a week after the International
DX Convention in Visalia, California also canceled its issuance. Since 2017,
the Hamvention has been held in Xenia, Ohio, every May. The international
meeting attracted more than 32,000 visitors in 2019.

Dayton Hamvention 2020 wurde abgesagt
-------------------------------------
Zum ersten Mal in ihrer 68-jährigen Geschichte wird die größte
US-amerikanische Amateurfunkmesse Dayton Hamvention in diesem Jahr aufgrund
der Verbreitung des Coronavirus nicht stattfinden. Die düsteren Nachrichten
kamen angesichts der weit verbreiteten Absagen öffentlicher Versammlungen
und der Ausrufung des nationalen Notstands durch US-Präsident Trump
am 13. März nicht völlig unerwartet.

"Das Hamvention Executive Committee hat die COVID19-Pandemie überwacht.
Wir haben sehr eng mit unseren lokalen und staatlichen
Gesundheitsabteilungen zusammengearbeitet. Mit sehr schwerem Herzen hat das
Hamvention-Exekutivkomitee beschlossen, die Hamvention für dieses Jahr
abzusagen", sagte der Generalvorsitzende von Hamvention, Jack Gerbs, WB8SCT,
am 15. März. "Diese Entscheidung ist für uns äußerst schwierig, aber mit
ungefähr zwei Monaten Vorlaufzeit hielten wir diese Aktion für notwendig.

Weitere Einzelheiten zur Schließung werden in Kürze veröffentlicht. Vielen
Dank für Ihr Verständnis in dieser Zeit der internationalen Krise."

Die Absage von Dayton Hamvention erfolgt weniger als eine Woche, nachdem die
International DX Convention in Visalia, Kalifornien, deren Ausstellung
ebenfalls abgesagt hat. Seit 2017 findet die Hamvention jedes Jahr im Mai in
Xenia, Ohio, statt. Das internationale Treffen zog 2019 mehr als 32 000
Besucher an.
