Dear fellow PVARC members,
Next month we have two major activities planned: our special monthly meeting on Thursday, August 1, at Hesse Park and our annual International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend operation at Pt. Vicente Lighthouse during August 16-18. The latter includes our free family picnic on Sunday, August 18, at the Lighthouse where our club provides the main meat entrees, some side dishes, and beverages along with canopies and pleasant ocean breezes. We customarily ask each family to kindly bring some kind of side dish or dessert...and no one goes away hungry. More info on these events in our August QRO newsletter later this month.
Meanwhile our weekly K6PV repeater nets are tonight at 7:30 pm for the analog FM net and 8:00 pm for the DMR digital net. Please check in and say hello on either or both nets to ensure your radios are working. Our 2-meter cross-band link is operational during the analog net for those on the Peninsula's west side (144.910 MHz, Tone Squelch, PL 100.0).
Have a great week and 73,
Diana, AI6DF
