| February 2020 Newsletter | ||
 |
A huge newsletter this week! Back in the late 1990’s
when I did the Newsletter and sent it out via snail
mail, we would have gone broke with the printing and
mailing costs!
Thanks to for contributions to this month’s PVRC
newsletter go to Ed N3CW, Dave K4EET, Mike W4RN,
Chas W3KC, Alan WA3EKL, Bruce WK3A, Ed KG4W and Dan
K2YWE..
The quality and usefulness of the PVRC newsletter
depends on contributions from members. If you have
photos from club meetings, screen shots of new
contest software, or brief writeups on station
improvements or contest war stories, send them in
any format to jpescatore at aol dot com.

PVRC at
Frostfest - Please stop by the PVRC table if you are
visiting Frostfest on February 1st. We will also have the PVRC
Galactic Lunch again at Roma's Italian Rest, 7240 Bell Creek Road,
Mechanicsville starting at 12 Noon. You can order any of the lunch specials for $8.95 plus tax and tip.
Each lunch item includes a non-alcoholic cold drink. You can also
order off the regular full menu which includes Gluten Free, Seniors
Menu, Pizza, Salads, Wraps, Subs, and more. Something for everybody.
Everyone pays for their own meal, so there is no need for advanced
menu choices or payment. There is also a bar for those who wish it.
IMPORTANT: Roma has two locations in Metro Richmond, so go to the
correct one at 7240 Bell Creek Road in Mechanicsville and not the
location on East Williamsburg Road. The restaurant is about 5 miles
from Frostfest and is an easy connection to I-295 at Exit 37 for
your trip home. If you have attended the Galactic Lunch in the
past, this is the same location.
RSVP to Jerome K8LF via email: Jerome K8LF, by Jan 24th at [email protected] if you expect to attend. The room holds 53 people. |

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! | |
