….... a word from our President<br />
Members <strong>of</strong> CVC are brought together because <strong>of</strong> their love <strong>of</strong> Corvette automobiles. CVC is really<br />
more than that. Even our By-Laws state 'To bring together owners <strong>of</strong> Corvette automobiles in a<br />
mutually beneficial social environment'. We are social creatures and are wried to connect with each<br />
other. That's what makes CVC so great. We have a large group for interaction and support. That makes<br />
it hard to interact with everyone during events. Please do your best to keep in touch and get to know<br />
our new members.<br />
A big change for CB radios sold in the U.S. has been recently approved by the FCC. Manufacturers can<br />
now <strong>of</strong>fer FM mode on their radios along with the current standard AM mode. Yes, it is a big change<br />
that can provide improved audio quality and less background noise, for those within range and using<br />
FM mode. There are pros and cons for this change. If you are operating in AM mode, as our club<br />
currently does, and nearby operators are using FM mode on the same channel, that could cause more<br />
noise on our radios. Radios with both modes are just becoming available. Output power will remain<br />
the same at 4 watts, and you should be able to use the same antenna. No you do not need to buy a new<br />
radio now. Maybe in the near future a few <strong>of</strong> us will have a radio with FM mode and see how it works.<br />
See you on our next run.<br />
Your President,<br />
Jeff
