NCRC Zoom Meeting: Aug 9@7PM

Hi everyone – days just seem to fly by in the summer.  Believe it or not, it’s time for a Zoom Club Meeting, Monday August 9th at 7:00 PM.  In addition to our usual short business meeting, Jim Sammons, KA1ZOU, and John Mills, K1JSM, will be giving a presentation on using and configuring N3FJP’s Amateur Contact Log (ACL).  This is the logging program that the club uses for Summer and Winter Field Day, as well as many of the Parks on the Air events.

Many have asked if we are returning to in-person meetings, and we have started the process of getting permission to do so again.  However, as you are well aware, things are going the wrong way with the pandemic, so in person events are not looking advisable at this time.  Having said that, don’t forget that some members get together every Thursday for breakfast at Chelsea’s on Aquidneck Ave in Middletown.  Folks show up between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM, when breakfast is ordered.

In addition to the regular business items, we will have some preliminary results for Field Day. Our guest speaker will be Fred Kemmerer, AB1OC, who will give a presentation entitled “Programs Helping Hams and Young People to Develop New Skills and Get on The Air”.  Fred is the current president of the Nashua Area Radio Society (voted best club in America for 2019).  He is also a technical mentor for ARISS, and a strong believer in education.  Fred is running for the ARRL New England Director position this fall.

NCRC Meeting for May

Our regular club meeting will be Monday May 10th at 7 PM.  Invitations to the Zoom meeting will be sent out by email to members later this weekend.

This meeting focus will be on Field Day plans, as the club is preparing a more traditional operation this year than last, as many members are now fully vaccinated.  The business meeting will be short.
