[PVRCNC] PVRC-NC East Chapter August Meeting

[Jim Jordan]

Seeing as how Kaz is determined to make August as boring as possible, I'll 
try not to disturb the trend. Notwithstanding, I find myself on the "Left 
Coast" at a time coinciding with the first joint meeting yesterday of the 
three major northern CA clubs, Redwood Empire DX Association, Mother Lode 
(not Load!) DX Association, and of course, NCCC. I was invited to attend by 
longtime friend from our teen-age Georgia days, W6OAT (ex K4BVD).  There 
were about 60 in attendance and included a great number of hams whose 
callsigns fill our logs in NAQP, CQP, SS etc. Saw the first presentation of 
the 7O6T Yemen Dxpedition by Paul, N6PSE, who sends special greetings to our 
own W0UCE who was on the Iraq expedition.  If after watching the news, the 
idea of a DXpedition to Yemen doesn't scare the beejesus out of you, nothing 
will. The reality was surprising.

There was also an interclub pileup competition using the KCDXA interactive 
software that created a lot of interest in Dayton. 2011 CQP results were 
announced with presentation of the Morse Code Winery bottles to the winners 
in top categories.

The meeting which included a buffet luncheon was from about 11 a.m. until 3 
p.m. on Saturday and of course included time to circulate and talk. It was 
anything but boring for me and I'll have a few pictures on my laptop and 
more info at the August meeting if Keith's boring notice doesn't prevent you 
from coming. ;-)

73,

Jim, K4QPL
