In honor of Valentine’s Day, we will not be holding our meeting on its usual 2nd Monday date, instead the meeting will be on Thursday Feb 17 at 7 PM.
The presentation for this month will be given by Bob WB4SON on using some of the many Amateur Radio Satellites in orbit. This is something that can be done by any licensed Amateur (Technician included).
Hi everyone!
NCRC will have a Zoom meeting on Monday January 10 at 7 PM. Invitations are being emailed Sunday afternoon.
In addition to our short business meeting, we will discuss Winter Field Day, which will no longer be at Glen Park due to the COVID outbreak in RI – Anyone can use their home station, or setup an outdoor station using their own call and still give credit to the club aggregate score (set the “CLUB” item to “W1SYE” in your log submission).
We will also experiment with a new Zoom feature that allows us to break into small groups – exactly what happens during a physical meeting so that we can get to know each other and discuss our goals. And we will introduce a new interview segment that we will have from time to time so that members can get to know each other better.
Happy New Year!
You are invited to join Newport County Radio Club online via Zoom (invitation sent via email) for a virtual year-end party on Monday December 13th at 7 PM.
While we can’t offer you hors d’oeuvre and libations, you are more than welcome to partake on your own.
We will have a brief review of what went on during the 2021 year, along with an announcement of an in-person event on Saturday December 18th (11 AM to 1 PM). Our scavenger hunt will be returning again, complete with prizes for the winners (an end-fed half-wave antenna, club membership, wearable items, and other tchotchkes). I hear that Paul’s elves have worked on a new score for the club’s song.
Hoping to see everyone Monday at 7 PM!
Rather than have a year-end party, after two surveys of the membership, it was determined that a virtual party will be held again via Zoom on Monday December 13th at 7 PM.
There will be a brief review of the club activities during 2021 by outgoing President Peter KQ1X. Nancy KC1NEK will announce an in-person get together for December 18th from 11 AM until 1 PM – A “MOTA” mines-on the air event. Paul K1YBE and helper elves will have another scavenger hunt with a bunch of nice prizes. And, the club song with new and improved soundtrack will be revealed.
Club members will receive an invitation on Sunday via email as usual.
Hope you can join us!
Our November club meeting will be via Zoom on Monday November 8, at 7 PM.
In addition to the regular business items, we will be holding elections for the 2022 officers. We have several on-air events coming up next year to discuss as well.
Following the business meeting, Paul K1YBE and Will KO4DLO will give a presentation called “Going around in circles – what IQ can do for you” where he will describe and demonstrate some signal decoding methods using In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) techniques used in SDR.
Club members will be receiving their invitation via email later today
The presentation is at GoingAroundInCircles-What IQ can do for you
