Paul N1PSX to reschedule & thanks to Richard Connor
Unfortunately Paul N1PSX (RI Section Emergency Manager) was injured today and spent his evening at the hospital getting patched up, so he was unable to join us at the meeting for his presentation on ARES here in RI. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to hearing his presentation in August.
We were fortunate to be visited by Richard Connor, an expert on Dolphin “society” and behaviors. Richard, who has spent decades researching Dolphin behavior in Shark Bay Australia, has recently published a book for lay people, and will be giving us a full presentation at the October meeting. He was nice enough to give us a preview tonight.
Information on the “Decade of the Dolphin” can be found here.

NEW — Sign up for Hands-on Radio Event July 19
After substantial feedback from our membership survey, NCRC is embarking on an additional monthly meeting with a goal of providing members, new and old, a hands-on radio experience. Topics will vary from month to month, but Elmers will be there to help, and there will usually be some on-air aspect of the evening.
Our first Hands-on Radio Event will be Thursday July 19th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at All Saints STEAM Academy, 915 W Main Rd, Middletown, RI 02842. Our topic for this meeting will be VHF radios, antennas, and accessories.
Paul Wynn, AC1DW, will be our coordinator for the first event
We have added a new “tab” to the website, called “Hands-on Radio” where you can find details about our upcoming Hands-on Radio Events and registration information.
