Love the idea of both in person and zoom. My prob is I never seem to have the zoom login info, usually because I accidentally erased an email with the login link (like last night 😣). Don’t know that 2 per month are necessary unless it’s ad hoc but perhaps alternating. Is there perhaps a central location (website) where the zoom login could be posted ?

> We have a last minute opening for another op for the VP5M M/S LP team for CQWPX CW May 28-29 at Harbour Rock Villa in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Knowledge of Morse Code is recommended. (Cooking and washing dishes might get tiring otherwise.) Seriously, you don?t need to be a WRTC contender. Mult radio and slow hour slots are available if you?re rusty or still building CW contesting skills.

> I am in favor of resuming an in person meeting for dinner like we were doing pre-pandemic. I doubt it is feasible to have a hybrid (in-person and Zoom call) meeting. Even in special video conference rooms when I was still working did these types of meetings work very well. I would opt for 2 separate meetings each month. Probably make the in-person meeting an informal event and have an ?official? meeting via Zoom. The Zoom meeting allows those that are more remote to participate more easily and regularly. That probably makes a bit more work for you as the chapter chair.

> In a previous exchange I also suggested a restaurant in the Cary/Morrisville area called Hickory Tavern near the I-540/NC55 interchange. I have attended a flying club social meeting there a couple times this year. They have a back room that I think would work for us. It is a bit smaller than Manchesters. The food has been good and is typical American pub fare similar to Manchesters.
