SPECIAL REUNION ISSUE 

Every year, I enclose an envelope with the Reunion issue of the Newsletter to facilitate donations by members to the club 

treasury. Again this year, an envelope is enclosed, and I hope you’ll consider a small donation to help fund necessary club 

expenses. Since we have no dues, donations are the only way in which we ask for members’ financial help. 

It’s surprising, I know, but the largest club expense by far is USPS delivery of the Newsletter to the 120 in-area members 

who do not choose either to receive it by E-mail or go to the club web site for their copy. It costs over $15 per year per 

subscriber, just for printing and postage, or over $1800 per year. 

This year, we are asking those members to make an additional $10 donation (over and above anything they would otherwise 

give) if they wish to continue receiving the Newsletter via USPS. This donation is not absolutely required to continue 

to receive the Newsletter by mail in the coming year, but it surely will help stem the drain on the treasury. If you are 

doing this, please be sure to include a note to that effect, either in the memo space on your check or separately. 

Thanks for your understanding and support.

REUNION ON-THE-AIR 

2004 Rules 

1. Eligibility: All members of PVRC worldwide (Once a member, always a member!) 

2. Object: To contact as many other PVRC members around the world as possible, using 7 bands as follows: CW: 80, 40, 

20, 15, 10 meters and SSB:20, 10 meters 

3. Date: Always the first weekend in June. The 2003 reunion will be June 7, 8, and 9. 

4. Suggested Frequencies: CW: 3547, 7047, 14047, 21047, & 28047 kHz. Phone: 14247 (14250 alternate) & 28447 kHz. 

5. Three contest periods: June 5: 1400Z - 1800Z, June 6: 0000Z - 0500Z and 2200z - 0300Z (June 7). 

6. Contest exchange: Serial number, your call, QTH, your call when first joining PVRC, and year joined PVRC. Example: 

NR73 W6XYZ CA W3XYZ 60 

7. Valid contact: Completed two-way QSOs on any of the 7 bands listed above . No crossband or crossmode QSOs. 

8. QSO points: Two points for each completed QSO. 

9. Multipliers: Total multiplier is the sum of all states, DC, Canadian provinces, and DXCC countries worked. (AK and 

HI count as a state or a country, not both.) Each multiplier may be counted once, not once per band. Maritime mobile 

contacts count only for QSO points; not a multiplier. If the club call W3GRF is active and sends a state of "PVRC" then 

"PVRC" is an additional multiplier. 

10. Reunion call: CQ PVRC 

Please send your final score (Call, Q's, Mult, Score) within 30 days to the Secretary, Bob Dannals, W2GG, rfd@jhu.edu 

or by USPS to 9 Elizabeth CT, Sparks, MD 21152 . No log is required. The roster is set up to use as a check-off sheet.
