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.

Club members will be receiving their invitation via email later today

Our NCRC Regular business meeting will be he held at 7 PM on Monday Sept 13th.
