[PVRCNC] PVRC NC Thursday, September 3, 2020, 7pm to 8:30 pm Over-the-Internet

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hello PVRC and friends,

As with our meetings since Covid 19, 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 previous success, we will have our meeting over-the-internet
using our PVRC account on the GoToMeeting server. Along with the well-known
quite more serious issues, this may be the means for a while.

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, please set up your display name to show
{name} {callsign}. *Digital era name badges. With checkins increasing, take
care to be decently brief during the round-the-table. Hold your cross-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. Newcomers will be treated like they've been coming for twenty
years. Especially our western NC brethren are definitely welcome.

Maybe, maybe just barely, 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. I note that others are getting the hang of it. Makes one wonder if we
can come up with some blend of in-person and remote check-in once this
awful pandemic is past.

Mike Barts, N4GU, will obligingly again be at the GoToMeeting controls. For
help from someone that actually knows how it works, reply to this email. We
will be watching out for you

73, Guy K2AV
