Our regular NCRC meeting will be held Monday, November 10, at 7:00 PM, at KVH Industries. In addition to a wrap-up of our last on-air club event for 2014 (JotA), and discussion of our upcoming Christmas Party, we should also be receiving and voting on the proposed list of officers for 2015.
Club members new and old are encouraged to bring their HTs and manuals (along with any accessories you would like to show off). After the regular meeting closes, we will have a hands-on HT-Fest where we will attempt to help each other get our HTs programmed to use area repeaters, and discuss various antenna and accessory options (like programming software).
