Hello everyone – this summer is speeding by despite being stuck mostly at home and getting wacked by a tropical storm. Hopefully everyone has power back and things cleaned up.
It is time for our NCRC meeting, which will be held via ZOOM. After a short business meeting and induction of new members, Mike James AC1GM, will be giving a presentation on “Field Day in the Boondocks”
Invitations will be mailed to members shortly. See everyone at 7 PM on Monday!
It is time for the Newport County Radio Club monthly meeting. We will continue to hold our meetings via Zoom. The next one will be Monday July 13 at 7:00 PM. Check your email for your invitation!
In addition to our usual business items and induction of new members (153 now), the meeting will discuss the results of our 2A Club Field Day Station.
Following the presentation there will be a 45 minute overview on Digital Radios (DSTAR, DMR & Fusion) as well as HotSpots and AMBE Servers given by Bob WB4SON
Last months meeting was conducted on ZOOM and was a resounding success, with more people online than at our usual physical meetings. As we are still under gathering restrictions, Monday’s meeting will be online as well.
This is the last chance we have to discuss our summer Field Day plans (June 27 & 28). There have been some interesting developments that will be discussed. There will be a Round Table discussion on “Stepping down from 10 meters” covering HF topics of interest to new General license holders.
Please be on the lookout for your invitation email and join us at 7 PM on Monday June 8th.
NCRC held its May club meeting via Zoom last night. Things went very well. We had 48 people in attendance, which is a bit more than one of our traditional in-person meetings. It was nice to see members in FLA (Pete W1LAB), PA (Bruce NJ3K), and NH (Art W1AGW) join in as well. The business meeting ran just about an hour, including a long discussion of Field Day 2020, with two new members being voted into membership. Congratulations:
After the meeting there was a 30 minute presentation on learning Morse Code given by Bob WB4SON. The slides can be found here.
Perhaps the best part of the night was the 30 minutes that followed the presentation, with very lively conversation among the 40+ remaining members. A good time was had by all.
Several folks offered up some interesting books on the history of Morse Code and telegraphy in general. Thanks (Peter KQ1X and Bruce NJ3K) including these titles:
