Dear fellow PVARC members,
Our July QRO newsletter is attached as a PDF for downloading and your reading. There's no monthly meeting this Thursday, July 4, at Hesse Park---we'll see you instead at our special August 1 meeting. This QRO issue also describes our successful Field Day operation at Soleado Elementary School during June 22-23...check it out. (P.S.: the eyeglasses mentioned last week found during our clean-up at Soleado have now been matched with their rightful owner.)
The PVARC's weekly nets on the K6PV repeater are tonight starting at 7:30 pm for the analog FM net (with 2-meter cross-link on 144.910 MHz, Tone Squelch, PL 156.7, for those on the west side of Palos Verdes). At 8:00 pm our DMR digital net begins and operates until about 8:40 pm. Please check in on either or both nets and say hello.
Have a wonderful Independence Day holiday and 73 to all.
Diana, AI6DF
