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

[Kent Winrich]

Great idea!  I can make it without a 2 hour drive. 😁.

Been working WPX and Lord I remember why I like CW contests so much more.
Still not too bad with 100 watts and a wire.  Trying to find PVRC members.
Actually held a run frequency for 2 hours on the WAAAAAY high end of 40.
