From wu4g at comcast.net Sun Aug 5 21:38:38 2018 From: wu4g at comcast.net (Ronnie Bolton) Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2018 21:38:38 -0400 Subject: [CVCC] Young visitor Message-ID: <003201d42d26$339dbe10$9ad93a30$@comcast.net> Hi! Hope summer is going well for everyone. Had a voicemail on my phone from a dad whose 13 year old son recently passed his Tech exam. They were checking out the websites for the Richmond clubs and found that our meeting night was the only one that fit their schedule. I returned the call but got voicemail as well so left a message. As we have been generally taking the summer off for meetings (and yes we been taking a lot of meetings opportunities off over the last year), shall we definitely plan for a September if they are still interested? While we don't participate in VHF/UHF contesting, this might be a great opportunity to introduce HF. What say fellow CVCC'ers? 73 Ronnie, WU4G From w4pm at yahoo.com Fri Aug 24 18:08:53 2018 From: w4pm at yahoo.com (Howard Motley) Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2018 22:08:53 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [CVCC] 2018 ARRL DX Contest References: <1867480782.2332135.1535148533876.ref@mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <1867480782.2332135.1535148533876@mail.yahoo.com> W4MYA and KG4W lead us to another gavel as we won the Local Club Competition!
