PVRC/NC West MINUTES- November 22, 2004

The NC-West Chapter of the Potomac Valley Radio Club held its regular
monthly meeting on November 22, 2004 at Cobalts Eats and Drinks.
Attendees:
W2DZO/Henry Heidtmann (Chairman)
KG4NEP/Robert Whitaker (Secretary)
N0KTY/John Kippe
W4RXG/Melissa Hall
KF4PLQ/Woody Kinney
N4IOZ/Tom Gallagher
WS4NC/Don Edwards
KC4WSK/Van Key

Meeting was called to order by W2DZO.
Discussion ensued about our WW SSB effort, and that we’ll probably end up
6th US, off one spot from last year’s 5th place, but that we made our
highest score ever.
KG4NEP and N0KTY talked about their SS SSB work, while W2DZO whined that
due to the throes of home buying, he didn’t operate at all. Henry did make
it official that he’s moving to Lewisville and needs to sell his downtown
place. Kippe has agreed to buy the towers.
NEP also mentioned he worked one (1) SS CW qso.  Its one more than most of
us.
NO time for CQWW CW effort- most people out of town- Robert might put some
time in.

The 10 Meter contest was mentioned- possibly a Multi op brewing from KG4NEP.
N4IOZ said the W4WS website has been moved from Summit School to Don’s
WS4NC’s webspace.
The January FARC Swapfest will be Saturday, January 8, 6am-Noon at Summit
School.
Other notes- Van KC4WSK has attended about 6 meetings, and is official as
a PVRC member. We'll send his name into HQ. We'll also send him to the
application website.
John N0KTY, though already a member, was evidently listed as a non-PVRCer
in a recent PVRC publication. Henry will check on this.

Official meeting adjourned at 8:05PM, while the WFU- Yale game went on
across the street. Announcement that Wake had been name #1 in the AP
Basketball poll caused much excitement in Cobalts. Yes, some Tarheel fans
had the gall to counter with "Well, we beat you in Football this year."
Some things never change. (OK, the previous 4 sentences were pure
editorializing by Henry, W2DZO, but geez, Its 1 AM on Wednesday morning,
and I'm tired. I'm also annoyed that this idiot NBA player who is, at this
moment, shopping his new CD on MSNBC in an interview, saying he did
nothing wrong in punching several fans at the Basketbrawl a couple days
ago. Unbelievable.)
Happy Thanksgiving to all-


Respectfully submitted- (except for the basketball stuff interjected by
W2DZO)
Robert Whitaker, KG4NEP
Secretary, PVRCNC West
