*** NOTICE *** NO PUBLIC CMSARA MEETING IN APRIL

by

In light of the recent developments surrounding the ongoing novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Mississippi and neighboring states, and out of an abundance of caution, the board has decided not to host its upcoming April meeting publicly. The meeting will, instead, be webcast live on our Facebook group page, and posted onto our website afterward.
We hope you can join us online on April 14th where I will be giving a live presentation on the practical use of WSPR. Chat will be open for questions during the presentation, and I will remain online for a time afterward to answer questions where I am able.
To reiterate. CMSARA APRIL 14, 2020 MEETING WILL ONLY BE ONLINE ON FACEBOOK.
