[PVRCNC] PVRC NC Thursday, August 6, 2020, 7pm to 8:30 pm Over-the-Internet

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hello PVRC and friends,

As with our meetings since April (has it really been that long), our
regular monthly meeting of the PVRC NC East Chapter cannot be held  in the
group room at Manchester's Bar and Grille, or be held anywhere as a
physical gathering, while obeying North Carolina statewide and Wake County
social distancing orders due to the pandemic.

Fully understanding and cooperating in the spirit of the orders, and with a
modicum of success the previous times, we will again do our meeting
over-the-internet using our PVRC officers' account on the GoToMeeting
server. This may be the means for a while as pandemic numbers in NC do not
seem to be receding.

We have moved the time from the Manchester's dinner meeting times, to
7-8:30 pm to allow folks to eat at home when their own food is cooked,
since we will not be both eating and bantering across the table as during a
Manchester's meeting.

Check-in particulars are below. Please remember to keep your mic on mute
when you are not speaking. Also, set up your display name to show {name}
{callsign}. With checkins increasing, take care not to run on during the
round-the-table. Hold your cross-the-table questions until after all have
had their turn.

Delighted, we have been getting to see and hear members and prospective
members from well outside the previous easy driving distance, N4AF and
others.  This meeting we might have two "second meeting" attendees to vote
in.

And yours truly is gradually, slowly, learning how to conduct the meeting
without losing track of all the check-ins and who has had their turn in the
round-the-table. Kind of like a really big traffic net.

Mike Barts, N4GU, will obligingly again be at the GoToMeeting controls. For
help from someone that actually knows how it works, post to the reflector,
or send Mike or me an email . Mike and I will be watching.

Newcomers and especially our western NC brethren welcome. You will be
treated like you've been coming for twenty years.

73, Guy K2AV
