(NC section 10th celebration probably November, NOT October) was [PVRCNC] PVRCNC-East September Report

[Pete Soper]

A couple of things have happened in the last few days to force me to 
request we reconsider October as the target for the 10th anniversary 
celebration. I feel bad that we got so close and with preparations going 
so well (although we could use more still photos sent to K4QPL at nc.rr.com 
and remembrances to W0UCE at nc.rr.com by email as mentioned below).

With K4QPL in England and my current schedules (linear equation theory 
is calling to me from the dining table) I haven't been able to 
communicate this properly. But I'll be consulting W0UCE and NX9T as soon 
as I can and will get with Jim when he returns. My hope is  that we can 
get a volunteer for an alternative program for October and target 
Thursday November 2 for the celebration (see my reply to NX9T's notes 
below).

I guess on the bright side this would put the celebration on the other 
side of the October contests, as I know folks are in the midst of 
serious preparation for some of those tests and might be inconvenienced 
by losing a day or more with travel to/from the meeting.

In my opinion Jack lined up some extraordinarily useful information 
related to combating fatigue, and the timing couldn't be better. Perhaps 
the October meeting might be best spent following up with other contest 
prep material such as an update of AA4NC's excellent advice?
