Dear fellow PVARC members,
The City of Rolling Hills Estates 40th annual "Hills Are Alive 10K/5K" is tentatively a "Go" for Saturday, August 7 after last year's cancellation because of the pandemic.
The PVARC is again providing public service radio coverage throughout the course along Rolling Hills Estates horse trails and open spaces. Walt Ordway, K1DFO, heads our radio team and still needs a few more operators. If you can operate at "Hills Are Alive" contact Walt at: This email address is being protected from spambots.
