Announcing the Premiere of
The T.G.I.F. Net (Thank Goodness It's Friday Net)
Starting Friday, March 27th at 6:30pm on the VVARA 70cm Repeater
449.425 MHz Out / 444.425 MHz In (standard - offset) 141.3 Hz PL Tone
This will be a generic type net similar to the Knobby Knee Net, but starting with a different leading question each week that everyone should be able to answer followed by each participant providing general comments on their activities for that day or week.
The T.G.I.F. Net will be hosted each Friday evening by John N7LQR, which many of you know from the 60's Net on Tuesday evenings. Warm up that 70cm rig and give the Friday Net a try.

It is with sadness that we must report that Carol Erika Schiltneck, KI7JZ, is now a Silent Key. Carol Erika Schiltneck was born in 1928 and was a longtime member of both the Verde Valley Amateur Radio Association and the Yavapai Amateur Radio Club. Most of us knew her by her middle name as Erika Schiltneck. Erika had been hospitalized since 2017 and passed away March 9, 2020. No services are planned.
