We have two DX- and contest-quality operating positions. Go to K3CCR on <a href="http://qrz.com/">qrz.com</a> for details, or read the article about us in the October PVRC Newsletter, available at <a href="http://www.pvrc.org">www.pvrc.org</a> The article by Grant W3GB on p. 70 of the Jan. 2013 QST has the story of the beginnings of the ham club here.<br><br>Tuesday Nov. 4 at 11 AM there is a complementary luncheon at Collington, with a tour of the station and a no-obligation informational presentation. A mailer has gone out to many local hams, but the list and the timing of such mailings are always uncertain: you may or may not get one.<br><br>Mailer or not: if you might be interested in continuing serious ham radio after moving to a retirement community, or know someone who might be, or would simply be interested in seeing our station, please RSVP and come to the 11/4 event.<br><br>RSVP by Fri. Oct. 31 to 1 800 951 5670, or send an email to <a href="mailto:tmosley@collington.kendal.org">tmosley@collington.kendal.org</a>.
