    2021 DAY-XENIA HAMVENTION (Canceled). From the Dayton HamVention Web
    page (https://hamvention.org/): "Unfortunately, several setbacks in the
    recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic make necessary the difficult decision
    to cancel Hamvention 2021. Hundreds of volunteers have been working to
    do everything necessary to bring this Hamvention to the many amateur
    radio enthusiasts and vendors who support the Dayton Hamvention.
    Vaccine distribution both in the United States and around the world is
    lagging behind what was planned. In addition, the emergence of a more
    communicable form of the COVID-19 virus increases the potential for
    further public health problems in the next few months. We make this
    difficult decision for the safety of our guests and vendors.
    Those who had their tickets, inside booths or flea market spaces deferred
    last year will be deferred again. Those who purchased 2021 tickets, inside
    booths or flea market spaces will also be deferred. If you desire a refund
    instead please email tickets@hamvention.org and we will contact you.
    Stay tuned for information about a QSO party for the 2021 Hamvention
    weekend. We are looking forward to the 2022 Hamvention!!!
    Executive Committee, Dayton Hamvention 2021"
