Cold.  Bitter, bitter cold weather this past weekend (as you know).  But that didn’t stop the NCRC crew from erecting the five or so antennas that were going to be needed for the event.

Then, the equipment needed to be checked out before the event started at 11:00am, Saturday. All good!

And with the weather being so frightful we attempted to operate two differents stations, CW and SSB/Phone in the same cabin.  (So we could avoid setting up a tent outside.)

It worked! It worked just fine, with the assistance of headphones. Operators were able to stay out of each other’s way and score big points.

Ever compliant with WFD rules, we had plenty of off-the-grid power and heat.

Additional points earned after making Satellite contact with the International Space Station (ISS).

Several newer members got to experience Field Day for the very first time.

Into the night and early morning hours, operations continued.

At dawn, with heavy, heavy snow in the immediate forecast, the decision was wisely made to cease operations and safely pack it up.

And just as the last cable was coiled, the record breaking storm hit while everybody safely headed for home!

See you at Summer Field Day!

This past Monday (December 8th, 2025) the Newport County Radio Club held its annual holiday party and dinner for members. .

Once again, we gathered in a private room at the Hometown Tavern in Warren. Food was great and the banter was lighthearted and friendly. Always nice to get together in person with members.

Mega thanks to Keith Henry for the array of marvelous photos.

Many thanks to Linda Maclean for running the popular Yankee Swap. Many of the participants pictured.

If you were there, hope you had fun. If you missed it, maybe next year!
