Meeting Reminder: Monday March 9 2020 at 7:00 PM

Our regular NCRC business meeting will be held at KVH Manufacturing (75 Enterprise DR, Middletown) at 7 PM.  Following a short business meeting, we will be showing a 25 minute video that was presented at the Dayton Hamfest in 2015 on the Navassa Island DXpedition, an event that was more years in the making than the Apollo program.

Don’t forget that 2020 Dues are due.  You can pay by cash or check at Monday’s meeting, or you can pay online by going to the “Pay Dues or Donate” tab on the website.
