Pete, W1LAB, Ted, W1GRI, and Bob, WB4SON attended the CT-DSTAR Group breakfast yesterday in New Haven CT. The CT group has been very supportive of us over the years, always quick to offer advice. They operate the W1HDN DSTAR repeater in West Warwick as well as many other machines in CT.

The NCRC Open Fox Hunt has finished at Beavertail. A total of FIVE hidden transmitters were placed throughout the park. Multiple teams of hunters braved brambles and cool sea breezes to find the Foxes. From setup to takedown, the event took about 4 hours.
Congratulations to Paul, N1PSX, and Steve, KC1AQQ, who finished with the best score.
Many thanks to Jim, KA1ZOU, for organizing the event and to all those who participated.
