Not a contact on 12m but Newport and Newport County have some awesome days for looking at Yachts. KC1NFM is always on the watch for interesting events in the harbor and reports them to the 2m W1SYE net. This 12 Meter Yacht crew exchanges waves with the well-wishers on the dock. The KA-10 sail number on a hat was also reported as found in the bay. Enjoy.

NCRC welcomes club member Carl KC1NAM to share his journey becoming satellite savvy. This presentation is a follow-up to Carl’s hands-on QSO demo and operations as part of our club’s highly successful recent Field Day (June 24-25, 2023). In this talk, KC1NAM will set the stage on satellite ops and then dig into the meat of his subject, Owning LEO and the technical challenges of all mode sat comms. Discussion to follow.
