Congratulations to Presential Scholar KC1KUF

Congratulations go out to NCRC member Ryan KC1KUF, who earned the distinction of United States Presidential Scholar as a graduating senior from North Kingstown High School.

Ryan is a long-time member of NCRC who earned his Technician license at age 13, and went on to earn his General license.  Besides his obvious interest in Amateur Radio, Ryan has been a congressional page at the Rhode Island state house and has become the youngest person to author and introduce a bill (already approved by the House).

With his accomplishments, Ryan has been able to pick from many colleges, and has decided to enter Roger Williams’s 3 + 3 program in the fall, majoring in Political Science and hoping to obtain his Jurisprudence degree.

Menu has changed

In response to multiple requests to simplify things, the menu system has been simplified.

All activities and the club calendar have now been combined into a single tab called “Activities” – so you will find ARTEN, JOTA, Field Day, Net, etc info on that page.

The Members tab will undergo further changes but for now all documentation, minutes, reports, can be found there, along with For Sale items.

All Contact Us and About Us information has been consolidated and now appears on the main page (Newport County Radio Club), along with the club History.
