Hi, all - I
hope you are staying as safe and as healthy as
possible through all the biological QRM.
The April issue of the PVRC is available for
download at
http://www.pvrc.org/Newsletters/2020_04.pdf.
Thanks to Bob W3YY,
Tom K3AJ and Jim WX3B for contributions to this
issue of the PVRC newsletter.
I sprayed all the bits in the Newsletter with
Old Bay-flavored hand sanitizer - should be safe
for download and the motto on the bottle says
"You will only touch your eyes ONCE if you use
Old Bay."
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 span>

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! | |
