Hi, all - the July issue of
the PVRC newsletter is now
available for your pre-Field
Day reading pleasure, from
the PVRC website
at http://pvrc.org/Newsletters/2021_07.pdf
Thanks to Dan K2YWE,
Rick N1RM, Alan
WA3EKL, John N3MN,
Dana N6DW, Frank
W3LPL and Mike N4CF
for contributions to
this issue of the
PVRC newsletter.
As usual, the
Newsletter will be
taking August off as
I burn some of the
Paid Time Off I
accumulated during
the pandemic travel
hiatus.
The quality and usefulness
of the PVRC newsletter
depends on contributions
from members. If you have
suggestions for how I can
make the newsletter more
interesting or useful, let
me know. If you have photos
from club meetings, screen
shots of new contest
software, or brief writeups
on station improvements or
contest war stories, or just
plain old stream of
conciousnes rants - send
them in any format to
jpescatore at aol dot com./span>

Chapter Meetings - Chapters have been hosting meetings on the air or
on line. In
a lot of cases members from other chapters have had opportunities to
participate in meetings that they would normally not be able to attend.
This will continue for the some chapters while others are starting to
meet in person again. If you do not know when your chapter is meeting then go to
the Chapter Listing page and contact the local Chapter Chairman for
details on the next meeting. PVRC Dues - PVRC has chosen not to implement an annual Dues requirement. We depend on the generosity of all our club members to finance our annual budget. In addition, active PVRC members are expected to participate and submit logs for at least two PVRC Club Competition contests per year. When contemplating your donation to PVRC, each member should consider the benefit you are receiving from PVRC and its many opportunities for your personal growth in our wonderful hobby, then donate accordingly. Direct donations to PVRC via Credit Card or PayPal may be made by clicking the "Donate" button above or below. Donations to PVRC are not tax deductible. |

Introduction to PVRC |
|||||
|
|
PVRC has a rich history going back to its foundation in 1947, with valued traditions defining our club. "Once PVRC, always PVRC" expresses a positive open-ended membership policy reflecting the many lifetime friendships formed in the club. Many of these friendships now span the US and the globe, with PVRC alumni found in nearly every other major radiosport club. Though we began as a small local club in the DC metro area, over the years we grew to in-territory membership in six states and DC. To foster the original local experience all across the PVRC territory, we are organized in local chapters. Over a dozen chapters provide members easy travel to meetings for the face to face experience that is the source of tower parties, physical help, elmering, personal encouragement, and just plain fun - the glue that bonds us together. PVRC members are e-wired, in constant communication via the PVRC e-mail reflectors. We use the reflectors to organize and function as an entire club, schedule club-wide events, set ourselves up for contests, share experience and access the incredible knowledge base of our members. We draw our officers and trustees from all across the club territory, and they largely communicate across this geography via electronic means. The PVRC 5 Million Award Program recognizes our members' contribution to club competition by awarding points for scores submitted on behalf of PVRC. We award a very neat plaque for reaching 5 million points with endorsements for levels beyond. Please explore the PVRC web site to learn more about us, and we cordially invite you to contact an officer or a Chapter Chair to begin exploring how membership in PVRC can benefit you as a radiosport player and competitor! | ||||
