WCF SECTION PRESS RELEASE #23-05

FRIDAY AFTERNOON WORKSHOP CANCELLED AND FOLDED INTO THE SATURDAY GENERAL PRESENTATION TRACK

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Friday Afternoon Workshop for the 9th Annual TECHCON will be cancelled.  Darrell Davis KT4WX, Technical Coordinator for the ARRL West Central Florida Section, made the following comments, concerning the cancellation of the Friday Afternoon Workshop.

“Regretfully, I must cancel the Friday Afternoon Workshop for the 9th Annual TECHCON.  As many of you are aware, my Mother passed away on Thursday February 2, 2023, which was followed by illness, and then an upper calf injury in my left leg which occurred on Wednesday February 8, 2023, the day after Mom’s funeral, which made it very difficult to walk, and I am now using a power scooter or walker.  With Mom’s prolonged time in a nursing home before her passing, and all that has happened to me, I have not had the time to prepare to facilitate the Friday Afternoon Workshop as I had planned.  I will plan to do an abbreviated presentation during the Saturday General Presentation track on the topic, “Introduction to the Raspberry PI Pico.”

The list of presentations and speaking schedule will be released tomorrow.
