And you may ask, what's tomorrow?  Why - it's the PVRC-NC monthly meeting
for July.

So, for those of us who may have missed or lost last week's email - here it
is again.

I hope to see you all tomorrow evening and hear of your contesting exploits.

Message-ID: <CAJ_MLyVd=3nhASkEDNh+5Bny6DzO4-zwLfmTAk0eoFrdJWUurA@mail.gmail.com>

Good evening all.

Last night we held our monthly meeting via Zoom.  We had a small but active
turnout.  Lots of interesting stories, discussion, and laughter.  For those
of us who couldn't make it, here's a recap of the meeting.

The most important item was that Steve Worth, KO4NIK, attended his second
meeting and was voted in as PVRC's newest member.  Please all join in and
welcome Steve to PVRC NC.

     Eric, NR4O, was Steve's sponsor.  Thanks Eric.  Also, please forward
this email to Steve and ask him if he would please share his email with the
group until we can get him registered and added to the roster.

     Now the news.

     Please remember that our new competitive year just started on 1 July,
please make sure that all your contest entries har the last competitive
year, which ended on 30 June, have been submitted to make sure you get full
5M and Olympics credit for the year.

     There have been some substantial changes to the 5M and Olympics for
this contest year.  The lists should be updated on the PVRC website by
now.  And then get on and give them heck.

     The IARU contest is tomorrow, Saturday July 9.  That will be good
practice for next year's WRTC.  And speaking about WRTC...

     We have 9, yes nine, PVRC members going to WRTC next year.  Ranging
from our own Connor W4IPC to Nate N4YDU, we will be well represented and
will make a loud noise on the bands.

     One of the big changes in the next WRTC is that the participants will
not be in tents next year.  They will be in fixed sites (stations).
Instead of raising money for tents, we will be raising money for stations.
If you haven't seen today's email from Ted,   WA3AER, our treasurer please
let me know and I'll forward it to you.  In addition to the general fund
raising for WTRC site sponsorship, which is $1,300 per site, there's a
special site that we, here in PVRC-NC should consider.

     For next year's WRTC we have the opportunity to sponsor a memorial
site.  We, PVRC-NC, would like to sponsor a memorial site for Will AA4NC,
one of our own whom we lost last year.  We'd like the funding to come from
our North Carolina ranks.

     The way we'll approach that is to ask for your pledges now.  Do not
send any funds to Ted yet for this memorial site.  Just please send me (in
a private email) your pledge for how much you'd like to contribute.  I'll
keep track of the pledges.  When we reach our $1,300 level I will let you
all know and arrange for your pledges and make the contribution.  If at all
possible, we'd like to get everyone's pledge by 31 July 2022.

     We've already received three pledges so we're off to a good start.
So, please dig deep and let's make Will's memorial our final send off to a
good friend.

     And lastly, our August meeting will take place at 6 PM on Thursday 4
August.  Early birds are welcome at 5:30.  This one will be a hybrid
meeting - in person at the Hickory Tavern and also over Zoom.  More to
follow later.

With that, 73 and make noise in tomorrow's contest.

GM all.

     Today marks one week since we started our AA4NC Memorial Site Funding
drive.  And I am both happy and proud to report that you have dug into your
pockets and have pledged $950 in such a short time.  How great is that?
Thank you.

     We only have $350 to go.  Just a little more digging to do.  Let's get
this last little bit done and get Will's memorial site funded.  Email me
with your pledges - please.   And you can stop these annoying nag-grams.

What a day.  You responded and we reached our goal for Will AA4NC's
Memorial WRTC site.  PVRC-NC sure did answer the call on this memorial site.

You should all grab an adult beverage, pat yourself on the back, and toot
your own horn.

I'll make the arrangements for Will's Memorial, pay the bill, and send an
email to those of you who pledged funds to to ask you to send me your money
via PayPal to my email address or with a check to me at my QRZ.com address.

Meanwhile, please remember that PVRC  has asked for club donations for
other area sites.  Please consider donating there also.  I did.  Our
Treasurer, Ted WA3AER, put out an email the other day giving instructions
about those contributions.

End of nag grams.

Dear PVRC club members:

Do any of you happen to have a copy of the book "200 Meters and Down" or any other historical books about ham radio, such as "Ham Radio's Technical Culture"?

Do any of you have any good information about ham radio history OUTSIDE of the USA?

 I'd like to drive over from my home in central Raleigh on Sunday afternoon to borrow  them for a couple of days, if you have such books.

Thank you very much!

Well gents, I have some good news and some bad news.

First the good news.  Last night on the evening news on WRAL there was a
segment on restaurant health inspections.   They announced that the Hickory
Tavern failed their inspection.  The good news (for us) is that
the inspection was for their Morrisville location and not for the one in
Cary.  So that's cleared up for us.

But now the bad news.  The good folks at the Cary Hickory Tavern screwed up
our reservation and gave the room to someone else.  Well poop!

So, for our August meeting, let's revert to a simple Zoom meeting.  We'll
change the time to match our routine Zoom meeting schedule.  We will try
for a Hybrid meeting in September.

So, here's the details for our 4 August meeting:
Time: Aug 4, 2022 7 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada).  Early birds are
welcome starting at 6:30 PM.  The meeting will start at 7:00 PM.
