The meeting will occur in two parts: a morning session and an afternoon session on Saturday, January 9, 2021 from 10:30 AM -12 Noon, and 1:30 – 3:00 PM.

Central Connecticut, along with much of New England, will be impacted by winter storm Bailey tonight into Thursday and beyond. Estimates have varied widely, but have consistently indicated a major impact. The latest forecast is calling for 11-15” of snow beginning this evening going through tomorrow afternoon.
ARRL CEO David Minster, NA2AA, has announced that the Headquarters building in Newington, Connecticut will be closed for business on Thursday, December 17, 2020. Employees will be encouraged to work from home; many already are, or are equipped to.
In advance of the storm, ARRL staffers removed some antennas from one of the towers on the HQ roof that was in poor condition.
Minster anticipates that Headquarters operation “will be back to normal” by Friday.
