Deadline for Field Day Dinner Reservation June 19!
Every year our food crew (Ed W1NQH and Brian N1TBT) are nice enough to feed all the hungry souls that help setup and operate our stations, as well as a full club dinner on Saturday night at 6 PM. The food is wonderful, and we can pay it forward by letting Ed know who and how many will attend the dinner.
The easiest way is to fill in the information on this webpage and click on the SUBMIT button, or if that doesn’t work for you, please email Ed at: edward.gosling@cox.net If you aren’t planning on being there, please enter a zero 0 in the dinner count field.
NEW — Sign up for Hands-on Radio Event July 19
After substantial feedback from our membership survey, NCRC is embarking on an additional monthly meeting with a goal of providing members, new and old, a hands-on radio experience. Topics will vary from month to month, but Elmers will be there to help, and there will usually be some on-air aspect of the evening.
Our first Hands-on Radio Event will be Thursday July 19th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at All Saints STEAM Academy, 915 W Main Rd, Middletown, RI 02842. Our topic for this meeting will be VHF radios, antennas, and accessories.
Paul Wynn, AC1DW, will be our coordinator for the first event
We have added a new “tab” to the website, called “Hands-on Radio” where you can find details about our upcoming Hands-on Radio Events and registration information.
