    Member News: (abbreviated summer edition) 

    Tom has been waiting nearly a year for the pin and mug that he
ordered from PVRC and is wondering what's up. He's been doing some
casual operating and brought along handouts with information about the
interference that would be caused by the Power Line Communications (PLC,
aka BPL - Broadband over Power Lines) proposal that is before the FCC. 

    Bert will be gone until October and unfortunately has a conflict
with CQWW CW. Meanwhile he'll be active from Maine. 

    Will is looking forward to operating from NY4A for CQWW CW this
fall. 

    Jeff NX9T saw Nate and David for Field Day (operating as NR3X).
Plans to play in the IARU contest and get some wires up this summer. 

    Chuck has been to a few hamfests recently and had fun w/ the Smith
Chart Society Field Day operation. 

    K4HA has been doing yet more tower work and also enjoyed doing Field
Day with SCS. 

    Pete has been painting the sponge-walls of his shack and will be on
the air for WAE. He still needs to drop 20-30 trees remaining from last
winter.s ice storms before the next storm hits. 

    Jim had fun in a non-competitive Field Day operation out in Chatham
County.
