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

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hello PVRC and friends,

As with our April meeting, our regular first Thursday monthly meeting of
the PVRC NC East Chapter cannot be held Thursday, May 7, 2020 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 last time, we will again do an over-the-internet
electronic meeting using a PVRC officers' supplied account on the
GoToMeeting server.

Mike Barts, N4GU, will xxx again be at the controls for the meeting. *Technical
stuff for logging on, audio+video, audio only, is below. *For help from
someone that actually knows how it works, post to the reflector. Mike will
be watching.

*Note the time change: *We have moved the time from the Manchester's dinner
meeting times, to 7-8 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.

There were no expressed issues with the time slot, so we will continue with
7-8 pm for the electronic meeting

All are invited. Since this does not involve travel, *we have specifically
included our compadres from the Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem area
on the invitation*, making this a PVRC NC meeting, and we would love to
hear how some old friends out there are doing. (I'm using BCC to avoid
exposing their emails.)

As always *"Newcomers and visitors distinctly welcome. You will be treated
like you've been our friend for twenty years."*

73, and see you on the 'net, details below...

Guy K2AV
Chair, PVRC-NCE

[Note: Understanding economic damage our current situation can do to small
businesses, we hope that Manchester's makes it through all this stuff OK.
They are our longest running meeting spot, and for sure with the least
member complaints of any sort. And the manager is a really nice guy. We
would really hate to lose them and the Manchester's Deluxe, the Mad Dog
Burger, and pretty decent Italian-ish menu items. Good Luck Manchester's.]

*Please attempt the login ahead of time*, you can get to the point where
GoToMeeting tells you that you're waiting for the "PVRC Secretary" to show
up. It may ask you to download GoToMeeting's app, which you only need to do
once per device. Even I found that easy and pretty seamless, clicking on
things in the displayed web page.

Problems? Post to pvrc at mailman.qth.net. We will be watching for tha
