Dear fellow PVARC members,
We had an excellent (and very entertaining) presentation about amateur radio antenna and tower permitting at our October 3rd monthly meeting...and we thank telecommunications attorney Jonathan Kramer, W6JLK, for being our speaker. At next month's PVARC meeting we'll have a presentation about amateur radio on the International Space Station...and what several hams in the Los Angeles area have done to facilitate contacts between schools and ISS astronauts.
As mentioned at last week's meeting we are now taking reservations for the PVARC's December 12th Holiday Dinner at Los Verdes Golf Course. See the attached PDF flyer with RSVP form...and please save the date.
Check in and say hello during our weekly K6PV repeater nets tonight at 7:30 pm for the analog net (with 2-meter cross-link on 144.910 MHz, Tone Squelch, PL 156.7) or at 8:00 pm for the DMR digital net. Earlier today our K6PV repeater was temporarily moved to another site atop the Palos Verdes Peninsula for technical enhancement work. K6PV is still fully operational in both analog and digital modes but the antenna at our temporary location isn't as high as the regular site...and a few operators with difficult terrain might have challenges reaching K6PV during the next 14 days. But still give it a try.
Have a great week and 73 to all,
Diana, AI6DF
