Dear WSSM Members,

First and foremost, I want to take this opportunity to let you know that nothing is more important to us than your safety and well-being.

We understand that our community has concerns during this uncertain time. While keeping a close eye on reports and updates concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Wireless Society of Southern Maine remains prepared to offer our communications skills to the service of the community, including to our partners at the Cumberland County Emergency Management Agency, and the National Weather Service. 

We recognize the elevated concerns about the spread of coronavirus and are taking a proactive approach to prioritizing the health and well-being of our members and guests, who attend our Informal, Monthly, and Emergency Communications Team meetings. 

Given recent developments, we will be suspending all in-person meetings until further notice.  We will make an effort to move meetings to an on-air format and discuss this more in-depth this Thursday during the regularly scheduled Meeting on the Air, which will be on the 147.090 (+ / 100.0 Hz) repeater, at 7PM.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will heed any recommendations set by the CDC and Governor over the next weeks. If there is more information that we can share, we will communicate it to you promptly.

Sincerely,

Tim Watson, KB1HNZ
