Dear fellow PVARC members,
Our May 2020 QRO newsletter is attached as a PDF for your reading...and reminders for PVARC's Thursday evening monthly meeting featuring "GPS for amateur radio" and our Saturday morning HF Enthusiasts Group meeting, both via Webex video conference. Details are below for connecting into these meetings.
Also mentioned in the May QRO issue: Effective this week our weekly DMR nets on K6PV are changing to Wednesdays at 7:30-7:55 pm to allow more opportunities for member check ins. Our analog FM nets continue as usual on Tuesdays (such as tonight) at 7:30 pm and members are welcome on either or both weekly nets. We realize the analog net 2-meter cross-band link has been down lately and we hope to restore it soon.
This Saturday's HF Enthusiasts Group online meeting will discuss (among other things) how members can participate in this year's ARRL Field Day from their homes--even with simple wire antennas. The PVARC Board of Directors felt it was necessary to cancel our usual large-scale public Field Day due to many uncertainties from the COVID-19 pandemic. Major unknowns included getting a permit for any large gathering in a public space as well as ability to safeguard our members' health through physical distancing and equipment disinfection.
I look forward to seeing you at either of our online meetings this week.
Stay well and 73,
Diana, AI6DF
