Dear PVRC Members;

I am pleased to announce the 2006 PVRC Reunion event, which runs the first 
weekend in June (3rd and 4th) this year!  Operations are permitted on 10, 
15, 20, 40 & 80 meters on SSB, CW and RTTY, and the times are:

June 3: 1400Z - 1800Z, June 4: 0000Z - 0500Z and 2200Z - 0300Z

As part of the celebration for our 60th year as a club, we made some changes 
to try and encourage PVRC members to operate this important event.   I have 
attached the complete 2006 rules at the bottom of this email for your 
review.

In summary - here are the highlights of this event:

PVRC Members work the world on the following modes:  SSB, CW, and/or RTTY on 
10, 15, 20, 40 & 80 M during any contest time period, and to encourage 
Multiple QSOs on band/modes with other members, multipliers DO count once 
for each band!

Packet spotting of your peers, while not a separate category, is strongly 
encouraged to promote this event.  Since activity will be light on 10 & 15 
meters, we suggest searching there at the top of each event hour, or moving 
stations for contacts to these bands.  The main purpose of this event is to 
get PVRC Members chatting with other PVRC Members!

The QSO exchange is simple and fun:  The year you became a PVRC member, your 
name, and state, province (or "DC"), or DXCC country.  Non-PVRCers skip the 
year they became a member (you can default it to "1" for logging software).

This is the "mandatory" part of the exchange; however rag chewing and giving 
out additional information is encouraged.  Some folks enjoy exchanging the 
call sign they had when they first became a PVRC member!

This year, we are going to activate W3GRF (our club call) on multiple 
band/modes, and I understand W3AU  is planning to be active.  In addition, 
our charter member Bill, W7YS is expected to be active, and W4KFC will be on 
the air with Bill, K3WA as the operator. All of these stations carry that 
rare "PVRC" multiplier (once per band).

If you would like a chance to operate in the reunion as W3GRF, please email 
me the requested operation time, band and mode of your choice.  I will do my 
best to create a schedule of "W3GRF" operations and let everyone have a 
chance.
