We had earlier announced that PVRC had decisive wins in the January
CW and January SSB events. SMC won the February NAQP RTTY portion of
the 2019 NAQP Challenge, bringing the overall 2019 Challenge to the
half way point. At the break, PVRC is in first place followed by
SMC in second and NCCC in third. You can check the standings at http://naqpc.org/2019.htm.
That page also includes a link to a participation report that allows
individual club members to track their contributions to their club's
score.
The second half of the 2019 Challenge kicks off on July 20 with the summer NAQP RTTY, followed by the CW and SSB NAQPs in August.
The August 17 SSB NAQP, will be super important to PVRC - please
make room on your calendar to put in a big effort for this one!

In addition, active PVRC members are expected to participate and submit logs for at least two PVRC Club Competition contests per year.

Introduction to PVRC |
||
|
|
PVRC has a rich history going back to its foundation in 1947, with valued traditions defining our club. "Once PVRC, always PVRC" expresses a positive open-ended membership policy reflecting the many lifetime friendships formed in the club. Many of these friendships now span the US and the globe, with PVRC alumni found in nearly every other major radiosport club. Though we began as a small local club in the DC metro area, over the years we grew to in-territory membership in six states and DC. To foster the original local experience all across the PVRC territory, we are organized in local chapters. Over a dozen chapters provide members easy travel to meetings for the face to face experience that is the source of tower parties, physical help, elmering, personal encouragement, and just plain fun - the glue that bonds us together. PVRC members are e-wired, in constant communication via the PVRC e-mail reflectors. We use the reflectors to organize and function as an entire club, schedule club-wide events, set ourselves up for contests, share experience and access the incredible knowledge base of our members. We draw our officers and trustees from all across the club territory, and they largely communicate across this geography via electronic means. The PVRC 5 Million Award Program recognizes our members' contribution to club competition by awarding points for scores submitted on behalf of PVRC. We award a very neat plaque for reaching 5 million points with endorsements for levels beyond. Please explore the PVRC web site to learn more about us, and we cordially invite you to contact an officer or a Chapter Chair to begin exploring how membership in PVRC can benefit you as a radiosport player and competitor! |
