There will be a regular meeting of NCRC at 7 PM on Monday July 11th at KVH.
Lots of fun things to discuss: Field Day, Patience Island, upcoming activations
Following our business meeting, a presentation will be given by David Brown, the videographer who took the fantastic drone video of our Field Day operation.
Don’t forget to pay your dues — renewals were due in January, and members will be deleted from the roster by the end of July.
NCRC Members Jim, KA1ZOU, Evan, K1GEA, John, K1JSM, and Pete, W1LAB are activating Patience Island On The Air near 14.262 MHz. This is US Island On The Air RI024S (or will be once they make it official).

Nice view from the operating position — see how close the antenna is to the water, the key to success
Transportation to the island is via boat — “Goblin” the hard bottomed inflatable on the right
