Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues in the Page Valley, while also reporting the Week in Review and checking out the Weekend Ahead
By Randy Arrington
LURAY, June 26 — Making “contact” was the main goal of a small group at Lake Arrowhead earlier this month, reaching out to the far corners of North America and beyond. Members of the Page Valley Amateur Radio Club came together to make as many contacts as possible with other “HAM”s to mark the national “Field Day” for the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL).
We talk with club member William Baukhages about what’s involved in the hobby and it’s importance in the modern world as a back-up communications system in times of crisis, from regional healthcare to disaster recovery.
As always, we’ll look back at “the week that was” in the Page Valley with a review of news headlines and sports scores, and we’ll preview some upcoming events to look out for this weekend.
(Page Valley Livin’ ~ Episode 27 was recorded on Saturday, June 22 and first aired Wednesday, June 26).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we’re working on interviews to promote the upcoming July 4th events and the Stanley Homecoming, as well as a special look inside the Luray Singing Tower. We’re also open to ideas…if you have one for an upcoming show — an interesting person you know (or want to know) with an interesting story — send us an email or provide a comment below.
The aim and purpose of these videos is to provide more information about more things that make up the wonderful place we call the Page Valley of Virginia. Serious issues will be handled seriously, while lighter issues may offer more opportunity to have some fun. There is no theme or agenda other than promoting the Page Valley, and trying to better inform the people who both live here and those who love to visit.
