[PVRCNC] July Meeting

[Jim Jordan K4QPL]

This weekend, as every ham knows who's ever held a key or mike, or maybe thought about doing so, is ARRL Field Day. 

This is not a "contest" but an "operating event" so there is no official PVRC recognition. But I can tell you, there are a lot of grudge matches out there for qso's, most transmitters, band totals, etc. This is also visible ham radio, when the public can see what these weird guys do for the rest of the year. And from personal experience, it gets inactive hams back on the air.

Don't let mid-90's forecasts deter you. Find a club, find a couple other guys, or even crank up your home generator, but get on the air!

And now for the real deal.....Make sure someone gets a digital photo or two, in whatever embarrassing poses you prefer, and email it to me. I'm trying to put together a slide show for the July meeting. We'll have our own brand of awards by popular vote. You don't have to be present to win, although it will be more fun if you are. PVRCNC-West entries welcome.

73,
