Dear fellow PVARC members,
Our weekly net at 7:30 pm tonight on the K6PV repeater and cross-banded onto 144.910 MHz, Tone Squelch, PL 156.7 will be our final net in 2018 so please check in and say hello. After tonight our nets resume on Tuesday, January 8, at the usual time and place.
We'll be taking a two-week break from club activities to observe the Christmas and New Year's Holidays. But do note our next club meeting will be Thursday, January 3, at Hesse Park when five PVARC members will "Show Us Your (Their) Shack." Your QRO newsletter editor is striving to issue our January QRO issue on or about December 31, so do look for it.
As we close our current activity year I would like to sincerely thank you for supporting the Palos Verdes Amateur Radio Club in 2018...and wish you all the best for 2019.
73,
Diana, AI6DF
