Do You Miss Ham Expos? Check Out This Virtual One!
COVID-19 has changed a lot about the world that we knew last year! The governments have limited the number of people that are allowed inside of businesses, disallowed any social gatherings over a handful of people, "requiring" people to wear masks and so much more. COVID-19 has affected ham radio. We can't have meetings anymore, testing sessions are severely limited and of course, no hamfests! The QSO Today Podcast has done something that I really wish I could've done myself, they have started a virtual hamfest! The first one is coming up on August 8 & 9, 2020. So let's take a look at what this new Virtual Hamfest is going to be about.

2020 State Of The Hobby Survey
It is time for the fourth annual State Of The Hobby Survey! I learned about this survey in 2018 for the second one and have taken it every year since. I really enjoy reading the results and seeing everyone’s opinion on the different topics that this survey covers. This survey only took me about 10 minutes to complete and I was able to do it on my phone. Please take 10-15 minutes and take the survey this year. The first year I took it there was about 1,000 people that took it, last year there was about 3-4,000! Let’s see if we can get over 5,000 responses this year!!!

How Has The Corona Virus Affected Ham Radio?
With the Corona Virus shutting down businesses, school, social gatherings and more, we all have to adjust the way that we do things. Amateur radio is no different! We can’t have regular club meetings, we can’t do training events, we can meet for breakfast somewhere and just chew the fat. We can’t even give tests to new potential hams anymore. So what does that mean for those that want to get their license? Virtual testing is a thing now. If you would have asked me six months ago if it would ever happen, I probably would have said no, but now, I have already heard from people that have taken their test virtually.

There are even some clubs that are holding virtual meetings. Could this be a new way to keep your club alive? Could having a virtual meeting increase club participation?
