[PVRCNC] PVRC NC Thursday, April 2, 2020, 7pm to 8pm Over-the-Internet.

[Jim K4QPL]

Great idea and thanks Mike. I’m looking forward to seeing how GoToMeeting and our illustrious chairman handles the unique QRM generated by PVRCNC!
73,
Jim
PS There are still a few hours in CQWPX SSB to work a very well known prefix on an even more unlikely mode. Only a few PVRC’ers so far as it’s also very part time. Operator fatigue sets in quickly.
