Brief Notes – QFQ and VT/NH CW Net
The QFQ for February, 2011 is finished and should be in your e-mail or USPS box soon.

Brief Correction and Update
Apparently, I don’t read our own advertising. Both the QFQ and our add in the Vermont Amateur Radio Directory have stated that monthly meetings are “6:00 Meeting” (i.e. 18:00 LT). I have been calling the meetings together at 18:30. Apparently, I need to eat faster, meet and greet sooner, and pay attention to the clock. [...]

We will, however, meet the 1st Wednesday in August (August 4th) at the Steak House on the [...]
CVARC HAS A NEW “SPECIAL EVENTS” CALL SIGN
Thanks to research, efforts, numerous e-mails, and phone calls by Wayne Dorsett [WA1YNE], and great assistance by the ARRL, CVARC has a new FCC issued “Special Events” Call Sign. The impetus for obtaining the new call sign was Wayne’s careful reading of the Field Day GOTA station requirements. Wayne had mentioned this issue in previous [...]
Vermont City Marathon This Sunday 5/30/2010

The job is to follow the last official runner in the race and advise NCS on their pace and location. [...]
