*=========================*

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
common sense and 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. This may be the means for
quite 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. GoToMeeting will come on for this at 6:30 pm to allow
"early arrival" pre-meeting yakety-yak.

Check-in particulars are above. Please remember to keep your mic on mute
when you are not speaking. *Also, please set up your display name to show
{name} {callsign}. *That's 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. If you are multi-tasking during the round-the-table, for
courtesy *you may wish to kill both your microphone and camera until you
are called*.

Delighted, we have been getting to see and hear members and prospective
members from well outside the previous easy driving distance. Newcomers
will be treated like they've been coming for twenty years. Especially our
western NC brethren are definitely welcome.

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.  Thank you, Mike.

Heavy contest schedule in December. Was there actually 10 and 15m
propagation?

73, Guy K2AV
