[Robert Morris]

Greetings,
This was originally in pdf format which the spam filter did not like
so I saved it as text and included it below.
All CVCC members that are PVRC members are eligible to use
YOURCALL/60 in honor of this special anniversary.
Hope to see you during the contest periods.

Take care

 ON-AIR REUNION SPECIAL EDITION
May 2007

And http://www.pvrcnc.org


Some believe the HF contest season ends with the CQ WPX CW contest.

To the PVRC, the season’s HF finale is the more casual PVRC On-Air Reunion. 
This special edition of the
PVRC Newsletter is a collection of Reunion-related material
 some history 
and personal anecdotes, the rules,
pointers and links for more detailed information, and last year’s results.

I hope you’ll enjoy this special edition. Send me your thoughts on this 
year’s reunion and I’ll include it in the
June Newsletter.

73 & CU on the Air,
