East Regional Meeting, April 4th by Rich Boyd, KE3Q
The meeting was attended by KE3Q, N3VQM, N3RZU, N3MNT, KE3PT, N3MNL, &
KW4T. We had a discus-sion of contest station building and PVRC goings on.
General Meeting April 8th by Rich Boyd, KE3Q
Thirteen were present at the unofficial "pre-meeting" at Topolino's
Italian restaurant in Temple Hills, and 20 at the general meeting at the
Episcopal Church of the Nativity, Temple Hills, Maryland. As you know,
Temple Hills is world famous as the site of W3GRF's (SK) station and
K3ZO's station.
Present: KE3Q, KC3RN, WR3L, N3RR, W4VC, WR3Z, K3ZO, N5OKR, WA3TAI, WK3I,
WK3H, KO4FM, K3IXD, WF3J, WJ1R, W3ABC, W3IDT, KF3P, N3KTV.
N3RR spoke about the FCC's new form to give out to neighbors who complain
about TVI/RFI. Contact N3RR for more details. Among other things, the
enlightened form suggests contacting the consumer electronics equipment
manufacturer if you're getting TVI/RFI on it -- as opposed to blaming the
nearby ham.
K3IXD spoke about the PVRC mugs, hats, shirts, and other items. PVRC mugs
without callsign are now in inventory for $10. Contact K3IXD for those or
to get on the order for the other items. Many who have already ordered
want Ed to make sure the items are in soon so they can wear them to
Dayton. Not a bad idea...increase PVRC's profile.
KE3KL announced his upcoming DXpedition with several other operators from
Japan and Costa Rica to TI9, Cocos Island. Look for TI9X the last few
days of April and first few days of May using 160-6M and satellite.
KF3P mentioned the 2M sprint which is on a weeknight next week. He will
be trying to repeat as #1 from K3MQH's mountaintop radio estate and will
assault the all-time record -- his was only a couple QSOs short last time!
He's especially looking for FM contacts at 9 and 10 PM, 146.55 and 146.58.
Contact KF3P or get out the contest mags and columns for the exact day.
W3IDT gave a presentation on the special event station at the National
Academy of Science this coming Saturday and Sunday commemorating 100 years
of radio and 75 years of broadcast network radio (NBC). They hope to be
using the callsign W3A, but this is still not final. [They did get W3A
call. -ed] The station has an A3 tribander on 50' (or so) "rocket
launcher" pole atop the building, plusVHF/UHF antennas and will be set up
in the Great Hall with many dignitaries and the public coming through.
KO7V is helping coordinate operators. Contact W3IDT (I can get the # if
it's not on SH/STA) or KO7V for more info. KF3P, N3KTV, and N5OKR, among
others, are considering going down to help operate, along with W3IDT,
K3TM, and WD3Q. Some weird and wonderful things are planned, like a
symphony concert featuring a piece that uses 8 AM radios tuned to
broadcast stations as "musical instruments." They will be operated by the
likes of the FCC Chairman and other dignitaries.
WR3Z mentioned his agency is moving to Patuxent River NAS; he's looking
for reasonably priced acreage for a station down that way.
W3ZZ told us it's okay to refer to "VHF/UHF/microwave contests" simply as
"VHF contests." And, he says only the January VHF contest has club
competition "and it should stay that way." The other big ones are in June
and September. Both W4IY and K3MQH, the two big mountaintop operations in
our area, each with many PVRCers, could use more operators. Contact
KO4FM, for one, with the W4IY Flagpole Knob group, and KF3P with the K3MQH
group. The W3IP team, some of whom are already PVRCers and others who
soon will be it appears, also say they could use some more guys. Contact
K3YDX or WB6VGI for more info on W3IP.
WA3TAI currently has two towers up, one being 120 feet and the other being
150 feet. He has a 5 element 20 meter Yagi on 50' boom at 100', for
instance, but could use station maintenance and operator help. After the
meeting broke up WF3J and WJ1R were trading telephone numbers with Tom.
W3ABC was congratulated for his promotion to VP of ARRL. He said it was
an unusual situation where three directors moved up, each bringing with
them a load of unfinished on-going business. But, he thinks he gradually
will have more time to operate as some of those tasks are passed on to his
successor.
KF3P spoke a little about his trip to KP4 with the KP4XS WPX multiop team.
First in North American looks likely but a repeat as #1 world unlikely,
because LU4FM and others in South America had great 15 and 10M openings
that were not had from the Caribbean.
N3KTV gave a financial report. The club finances are holding their own
even with our new system of donations versus mandatory monetary dues.
Help us keep this going by sending donations to N3KTV (SH/STA N3KTV for
the address). The purpose of the change was to allow more casual
contesters to contribute their scores to PVRC and not be put off by one
more $10 bill they had to send to a club. We realize the various club
dues, repeater dues, and ham magazine subscriptions add up. Nevertheless,
if you can, pitch in. Sales of mugs, badges, shirts, hats, each with a
little extra for the club have helped. Plus, we've gotten the annual
Christmas dinner into the black as well. Eight attendees tonight were
wearing PVRC badges!
KE3Q spoke about the possibility of a clubhouse with station if we want
it, in Davidsonville, Maryland.
Our program was the video of KC1XX and K1EA comparing their stations in
Massachusetts.
Special welcomes to guest WK3I, Richard Eshelman, a first time PVRC
attendee. And, a hearty welcome to WJ1R, formerly UA6HZ, longtime head of
Soviet amateur radio organization, who now has permanently relocated to
Fairfax, Virginia. Valery was voted into membership. He has a long list
of accomplishments in contesting, including his #6 placement with K1CC in
the first WRTC (Seattle) and has an FT-1000D, a 930, a homebrew 8877 amp
and other similarly good stuff, but has yet to put up the big antennas.
The next meeting, second Monday of May, will be at the library on Route
123 in downtown Vienna, Virginia. The program will be a presentation on
the ELNEC and other antenna modeling software.
Six summer meetings, KY3N (in PA) June 9, W3LPL June 15, KT3Y in July,
N3RR and W3YOZ in August, and WR3L in September. Plus, the regular
September meeting, Temple Hills, MD, the winning VP2MFM DXpedition by a
bunch of Woodbridge Wireless and PVRC guys and a couple "strays." hi.
Many of you already have plans; the rest of you seriously consider going
out with a local club for Field Day. If you need suggestions, contact me.
A bunch of our guys go out with Woodbridge Wireless, another bunch with
Columbia ARA, I know Anne Arundel RC (MD) can use more ops, and there are
many others.
NW Regional Meeting Minutes - April 16, 1996 by Tyler Stewart KF3P
The meeting was called to order at 8PM at Legends Restaurant in Frederick,
MD. In record attendance were 19 members: KF3P, N3KKM, K3MQH, K3IXD,
W3LPL, N3RR, WD3A, WB2BZR, K3LYW, AA6DC, K3ZNV, YY2G (aka K3LYW), W9LT,
ND3A/CO2, W3ZZ, W8BOZ, N5OKR, N8II, and K3SKE. Introductions were made
around the table.
There was brief discussion of recent contest activities in the WPX phone
and 2 meter sprint contests, with complaints of poor conditions common to
both.
KF3P applauded PVRC's strong showing in the '95 SS contests and noted that
a 1st place unlimited category finish for '96 was quite plausible.
N5OKR described operating at W3A, the National Academy of Sciences Special
Event station in Washington, DC celebrating "Music and Radio".
N3RR mentioned that WRTC is going to have special regional plaques for the
highest number of WRTC stations worked in the US and Canadian IARU zones
and other areas of the world. N3RR made a motion that PVRC should offer
to sponsor one if it is available (cost estimated at approx. $100). K3IXD
seconded. 16 voted "for", 2 opposed. This will be brought to the next
regular meeting for vote.
KF3P noting the many vacancies in the ARRL SS plaque sponsor list in '95,
moved that PVRC sponsor the Atlantic Division, Low Power plaques in '96.
Someone pointed out that Roanoke Division was also missing many sponsors
and after brief research in the QST results, the motion was modified to
provide for 1 Atlantic and 1 Roanoke Division plaque at a cost of $100.
Someone seconded and 16 voted "for" and 1 opposed. This will also be
brought to the next regular meeting for a vote.
Dan, K3SKE, gave a brief update about current problems associated with
taking care of the K3NA Packetcluster node.
Tom, WD3A, mentioned that NIST is going to hold a Skywarn class very soon.
Contact Tom for info.
K3MQH reminded us that the 220Mhz Sprint is next Tuesday night from
7-11PM. N3KTV will operate w/FM on 223.5 Mhz. May 1st is the 432Mhz
Sprint.
A donation check of $20 was received.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:30.
Joint PVRC/FSARC meeting April 16 by Larry Minnis, WB6VGI
A joint PVRC/FSARC meeting was held the 16th of April with the following
PVRC'rs in attendance: K3YDX, WB6VGI, and N3CBJ. Also in attendance were
the following: WA3KZR, NN3O, WB3ICL, N3FNE, WA3YXM, W3IP, and KB5NHM. For
many of the non-PVRC members this was the second meeting. Applications
were passed around and will be forwarded to KE3Q. Discussions were held on
the upcoming June VHF/UHF contest and operations from a remote site that
is about 575 feet above sea level with a 270 foot tower. This is an old
AT&T site that is no longer in use and may be available. Of course,
Antennas and how to mount and feed them, was the main topic. Also
discussed was the possibility of 2.3 and 10 GHz operation. More to follow
in this adventure!
MARC PVRC Talk April 17th by Rich Boyd, KE3Q
The PVRC presentation to the Montgomery Amateur Radio Club (MARC) went
great. Present were: AA3BO, N3RF, AA3CQ, W3WFY, N3PPG, KC4UXO, WA3YJA,
WB3BMA, W3HOQ, WV3B, KE3UM, KD3VK, N3NFS, N3VOL, AA3NJ, N3VLL, WJ3F,
N3LRS, N3TOP, KR4EL, WA3WOD, N3PPR, W3INK, N3JKV, WA2WDT, KZ3F, KB8VC,
N3HBX, N8XTX, K3YNY, W3ITF, N3SCP, N3UMA, N3PXK, AA3NM, W3QF, AA3KY,
AA3LE, WA3ZOR, W3WON, N3LDI, N3MIT, KC3MX, K3KQY, WA3VEZ, KE3Q, and N3RR,
45 FOLKS!
The talk began with a presentation about PVRC, who we are and why we
exist, that we're a region-wide club devoted to contesting (operating
events) and that we encourage local club guys to join us when it comes to
contesting. We discussed the recently published SS results with 98 PVRC
logs and our hope to have 200 next time.
I introduced N3RR as having the largest ham station in Rockville as far as
we know. Then we showed the well-traveled videos of W3LPL, billing it as
the biggest ham station in the region.
Many, many questions were fielded -- probably from 30 different
questioners -- so there was a lot of participation.
KZ3F mentioned his DXCC with a 5-foot-high dipole -- there was
considerable discussion of operating or contesting from townhouses, etc.,
with attic antennas and such. I suggested some of these guys may want to
get together with one of their guys who has a bigger station and operate
multi-single. I think they're giving some thought to it.
AA3NM has been talking to KF3P about getting to one of our general
meetings or the NW regional, then heard about this opportunity. He's
eager to be a PVRC'er.
N3HBX with the FB station that KO7V has been working on the last few years
was there. Good to meet him after hearing so much about his station that
features rotating monobanders on all bands 80 (!) through 10. So, I guess
we have at least 2 stations currently (K3ZO is the other) in our area with
rotating 80M yagis.
Complements to N3KQY for setting this evening up and for PVRCers N3RR and
WV3B being there to support it. We had a good time. By the way, MARC has
295 members, 140 of whom are on HF, if I recall and understood what I
heard.
OVER THE HILL, APRIL 24 by Bill Leavitt, W3AZ
The OTH bunch met on Wednesday, April 24 at the Oxon Hill Ramada. Those in
attendance were: AA4XU, AA4I, W6AXX, W3XE, W4DM, W3GN, K3ZO, W3EDZ, and
W3AZ.
PVRC news briefs:
N5OKR has arranged for our PVRC "road show" for May 14th at the Frederick
ham club. All are welcome. KE3Q will provide time and place when
available.
Bernie, WR3E, is still looking for a QSO w/ AA4KD, KE3KL, KH2T, KT4W and
WA3TAI. Also, a QSO anyone who has any of the old PVRC QSLS.
The PVRC Exchange by Ed Steeble, K3IXD, [email protected]
Welcome to the new members. Several times a year there are PVRC items for
sale. The club gets a discount by buying in "quantity", if you consider a
minimum of 12 shirts, 20,000 QSL cards, 72 mugs a "quantity. We can't
afford to stock items, nor can we or you afford a one-unit, one-time
order. Therefore we must take orders periodically (usually once a year).
The club makes a dollar or two on each item sold. These profits help fund
the club. Lets make the experiment of not collecting dues work. Of course
our treasurer, N3KTV, will still accept contributions.
PVRC QSL cards: AA3HM, Craig, is still planing to take another order in
the fall of 1996. If you run out of cards before then consider ordering
just enough cards to hold you over. Let use the PVRC cards for, at least,
the contest QSOs.
PVRC Name badges: PVRC name badges can be ordered at anytime. To order a
badge provide your call sign, your name as it is to appear on the badge,
and $5 (or $7 if you want it mailed to you instead of picking it up at a
club meeting). Mail a check (payable to Brian McGinness) to WA3WJD, Brian
McGinness, 4618 DeRussey Pkwy, Chevy Chase, MD 20815.
PVRC logo mugs: I have four mugs left ($11 each, $15 if shipped). These,
like the others, have the three color logo on both sides, a bronze ring
around the top of the mug, and the mug is white. But without call signs.
The mugs are microwaveable and dishwasher safe. It is probably 18 to 24
months before we do another order.
PVRC T-shirts, golf shirts, sweat shirts, and hats: For those who ordered,
these items should be in and distributed in time to wear at Dayton. Lets
make our presence known at Dayton, at the other hamfests, and at the other
gatherings.
PVRC ROSTER TO BE PUBLISHED by Dick Wilder, K3DI
"We need your updated information."
We will soon publish a roster of PVRC members. Our secretary, WA3WJD, has

expected to start after all members have had an opportunity to respond
with updated info.
The fields we plan on publishing are:
CallSign LastName NickName
Street/City/State/Zip PvrcRegion
HomeTele WorkTele packet email-adr

packet capability. (The PVRC database has a field to hold the full packet
address.)
Please check the mailing label on this Newsletter and check the nicknames
on the reunion check list in the April Newsletter. Please let the editor
(see email/packet/FAX/telephone on page 1) know of any changes. Tell us
about even minor changes such as the last four digits of your 9-digit zip
and your preferred nickname. All info (including data not needed for the
Roster) will be consolidated and forwarded to Brian who maintains the
official PVRC data base.
We especially are looking for your email address. If you have more than
one, please tell us which you consider your best one. Email addresses
that we have are listed at the right. Please check yours and provide us

REMEMBER TO MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE PVRC REUNION ON- THE-AIR.
IT'S THE WEEK-END OF JUNE 1st AND 2nd.
Editor's Note: I had considered doing a montly Internet column with lists
of place to "go" for radio information. However, K3SA's PVRC WWW page has
a more comprenhesive list than I could possibly do with my limited space
on these pages. In this issue, I draw your attention to Steve's effort
with the following which I obtained using a shell account (no web browser)
and minor editing. Click (or Enter) and cruise the Ham radio world.
