NCRC Meeting: Monday ONLINE August 10 at 7 PM
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.

Invitations will be mailed to members shortly. See everyone at 7 PM on Monday!

NCRC June 8 Meeting on ZOOM again
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.
Classes Wrap Up Next Week
Paul K1YBE and Bob WB4SON have been busy holding online Tech/General/Extra classes using Zoom. It looks like we will have 27 people taking the Technician exam and 14 taking a General or Extra upgrade during the week of June 1st. This will likely be a record for most exams given by the club. We wish all the students the best of luck!
We are also engaged in learning the process to offer individual exams online, which will serve the Amateur Radio community well going forward.
Thanks to the sixteen VEs who have volunteered to help with the exams, and a special shout out to Mary KC1NEB and Kelly K1GKW who heard that we needed help and took their VE Exams by the next day!
