[PVRCNC] PVRCNC-East Thursday at 6

[Jim K4QPL]

Following up on Jeff's notice, I hope to see everyone at Manchester's for 
our monthly meeting. We're into contest season now with the great SS warmup, 
CQP (California QSO Party) on phone and cw this weekend. Lots of others 
coming up as well.

In addition to the member news and paper contest, I'll be showing why I 
missed the meeting last month to visit the eastern site of the first 
transatlantic "DX" 105 years ago and to operate from the surviving "shack" 
of another early site at Lizard Point, "LD", now permanent special events 
amateur station GB2LD. Going back even further, the first transatlantic 
telegraph cable came ashore at the nearby village of Porthcurno which also 
features a fine museum and a reproduction radio station with a big 
collection of "boat anchors." I'll hand out commemorative QSL's to some 
lucky members and have some pictures and other material of historical 
interest regarding the above.

Look forward to seeing you!   73,

Jim
