Dear fellow PVARC members,
If you haven't sent your reservation for our December 12th Holiday Dinner you now have until 4:00 pm tomorrow to RSVP. Please reply directly to me via email with your number of attendees and you may pay at the door on December 12th. We've arranged with Los Verdes Golf Course for this brief extension because we would like as many PVARC members as possible having an opportunity to attend. So don't delay, respond by email no later than 4:00 pm Wednesday and we'll see you at the dinner with our many free door prizes, presentation by yours truly on "The Lighter Side of Amateur Radio for Today...and Tomorrow", and great conversation with other club members. Our Holiday Dinner replaces a December club meeting at Hesse Park, so don't go there this Thursday night.
Our weekly K6PV repeater nets are tonight at 7:30 pm for the analog side (with west-side cross-band on 144.910 MHz, Tone Squelch, PL 156.7) and at 8:00 pm our DMR digital net. Please check in and say hello on either or both nets.
Have a great week and 73 to all,
Diana, AI6DF
