And if it's on the internet it MUST be true.

You're on the internet and probably believe what you say is true.

So, by inference we shouldn't believe you either?

And, by inference, you also?  :)

By your logic, yes.

The TMRA website says that the reason is strictly Covid related.

It probably is covid related.
There aren't that many good hamfest venues in the Toledo area, and the Owens facility is pretty nice.
Years ago they used to have it at the Lucas County Rec Center, but the college facility is much nicer.
If the college is afraid of covid, they're probably more likely to not let in a bunch of outsiders.
No permit = no venue = no hamfest. And not the fault of TMRA or its leadership.

Hopefully, someday, this maniacal covid paranoia goes away.

Our club typically met at a community library conference room.
The library ( yes! a public library!) won't let us use it for 2 years now because of covid.
I think it's that they use it as an excuse not to deal with it,.

The club "leadership" cites this as reason for our zoom meetings. ( I no longer bother...)
I suggested several free  venue alternatives, but was shot down on all accounts.

At this point I feel that covid is a convenient excuse for lazy people to be lazy

My address is listed in the FCC ULS.  However, don't come by unless you are masked, vaccinated, had your booster, had a negative COVID test in the last 24 hours and are willing to stay outside at least six feet away.

Nothing good ever comes from paranoia!
Paranoia is why Russia invaded Ukraine.

Actually, had spaghetti with marinara sauce and Italian sausage for breakfast, the pot has now cooled off.

Maybe watch this one and see what you think and draw your own conclusions about the risk benefit analysis in the age of Omicron.


My analysis is this: I believe the risk benefit analysis was pro vaccine during the A and Delta variants, but now in the age of Omicron I no longer think the benefits of getting the vaccine outweigh the risks of that vaccine. However your mileage may vary. Think what you want to think and do what you want to do.  Cancel Hamfests or don't cancel Hamfest's. It us up to you.
