Free Generator for Club Member!

Posted on by

Ted Wroble, W1GRI, has replaced his 25 year old Coleman 4000 watt generator with a new one, and would like to give it away to any NCRC member that is willing to pick it up from Ted’s house in downtown Newport.

In the interest of full disclosure, the generator was last used in Hurricane Sandy, is about 25 years old, and like many generators of that size, is loud when running, and a handful to move.  But the price (free) can’t be beat.

Anyone that is interested, please contact ted at twrobel AT tacticaltech.com or call him at the phone number listed on the club roster.

NCRC Zoom Meeting: Aug 9@7PM

Posted on by

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.
