[PVRCNC] NC West minutes- June and July meetings

[Jim K4QPL]

>and the usual technical jargon on the local repeater on the ride home!!!

I'm sure glad that y'all do that on the ride home so that the "face time"
can be spent in the pub bending arms and talking about interesting topics!
I've got to visit Cobalts some time. (The Burlington joint meetings are
probably too tame.) 73,

Jim, K4QPL
