[PVRCNC] [PVRC] Happy Mailbox Day

[Jim Jordan, K4QPL]

Congratulations, Roland!  Great job.

While I like to contribute to the club, I've been on a "do more with less" 
kick the past couple years so for CW I've been in the "night light" (QRP) 
category.

My mailbox also had a NC Section winner certificate as a repeat of 2010. 
The difference in 2011 was the incredibly close race with Paul, AA4XX, with 
just a few points spread and as the pollsters say, "within the margin of 
error".

I'm sure Paul will be in there this year to try and prevent a "3-peat"!

The bad news is that I will probably be out of the country for my club 
contribution weekend, SS-SSB. My father in law will celebrate his 98th 
birthday in ZS3 November 18 and although he's in great shape, we never know 
how many more he has.

73,

Jim, K4QPL
