It’s spring, so it must be time for another Frequency Measuring Test (FMT). Here’s the ARRL Announcement from the April 2019 QST (Note: This is actually 10 PM EDT on THURSDAY):
A few NCRC members have been known to participate in the FMT in the past.
The second Monday of the month is just a few days away and that means it’s time for a NCRC meeting: Monday April 8, 7:00 PM at KVH Manufacturing (75 Enterprise Drive, Middletown).
Following a short business meeting, we will be having a presentation on the Titanic Radios given by Mark Rudd, as well as an introduction to the upcoming Hands On Radio event in May on Software Defined Radios (SDR) by Paul K1YBE.
See everyone Monday!
Just a reminder that our next NCRC meeting will be 7:00 PM Monday March 11 at KVH Manufacturing (75 Enterprise DR, Middletown RI). It will be a busy meeting as lots of fun things are going on.
Ray Perry KC1IPC, Director of the Portsmouth EMA will be speaking to us about his EMA program. Dave W2DAN will be describing the VOIP “Ham Shack Hotline” system he has been working on. Willy W1LY will give us a summary of the Island Activators very successful activation of a dozen islands near Fort Pierce Florida. And Ted W1GRI will be describing his upcoming Emergency Communication hands-on radio event at ASA on March 21st.
Hope to see everyone there Monday.
Being the first Thursday of the month, the club breakfast will be held at Rome Point Cafe in North Kingstown. Folks start to gather around 7:30 AM, and breakfast is usually ordered around 8:00 AM. Perhaps Willy and John might join us, if the airport is open, and update us on their very successful island activation trip to Fort Pierce Florida last week.
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Forrest Golden, W1ZAR
Forrest has been a fixture at Summer Field Day for many years, showing up to do the setup and takedown work, and of course was usually at our club meetings. In addition to his amateur radio interests, Forrest was an avid sailor.
His service is at Portsmouth Methodist Church on February 23rd at 10 AM
