Hi Everyone.

Just reviewed the entire list of vanity calls issued yesterday.  Was 
surprised on how many made the choice to change a call that to me was 
perfectly fine for contesting.  In any event congrats to all and hope you 
put those new calls to good use.

I expect the CQWW CW will experience a notable surge in activity as many 
will want to try out their new on-the-air identity.  I'm looking forward to 
hearing all those one by twos make the pileups flow smoother and easier.

Guess the other big winners are the QSL printers.  Just think of the 
hundreds of thousands of new cards that will be ordered.

73,  John  W2GD/P40W

All contesters are invited to the November PVRC/NC meeting.

The meeting will be held on November 13 at N4AF's Apex QTH at 19:30.

We will be conducting post mortem's on CQWW SSB & SS CW and
planning for the upcoming SS SSB and CQWW CW.

To prime everyone for the coming contests, two videos will be
shown:
     The first is one of W3LPL in the 95 CWWW phone choreographed
     to rock music.
     The second video is of the million dollar station K2GL
     that dominated Tuxedo Park, NY. Neat shots of a 750# rotator for
     four ele 80M yagi being hoisted up a 195' tower, a 76' long
     90' wide yagi, or the twelve thousand dollar antenna that lasted
     for five weeks.

Closer to home, K4MA will describe m/m station N4ZC outside of
Charlotte. 

Hope to see everybody then,

73,
Howie

Directions to N4AF:

>From Raleigh, take Rt64 (toward Jordan Lake). At the intersection
with Rt55 make a right turn. Approximately one mile up Rt55 make
a left turn onto Jenks Rd at the top of the hill.
The second right turn off of Jenks road is Roberts Road.
The fourth house on the left, in the woods (you should see the lights),
will be N4AF.

N4AF Apex, NC
