Dear fellow PVARC members,
Our August QRO newsletter is attached as a PDF for downloading and your reading. We hope to see you this Thursday night at Hesse Park for a rare August PVARC meeting. Our Field Day video will show both the PVARC's Field Day operation and those of other organizations (large and small) around Los Angeles County. We'll also have an updated presentation about International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend, including our operation at Pt. Vicente Lighthouse.
As mentioned in this QRO issue, Walt Ordway K1DFO still needs several operators for our public service coverage at the Labor Day "Conquer the Bridge" run/walk across the Vincent Thomas Bridge. If you can assist then contact Walt at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
