Unfortunately the Technician Class scheduled to begin next Tuesday, Sept 18, will not be held due to a lack of students (if you teach a class and there is nobody there, does anyone learn anything).
A new class will be scheduled at a future date.

Silent Key: John King
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of John King today (August 29) about an hour ago. John was a very important member of the club, one of the founders of the 49ers, and held an A1 Operator Certificate. The W1SYE repeater was a recent gift from John to the club.
Details will be announced in the future. Several on-air events are planned, including a “Final Call” on the OSECA net (7:00 PM Tuesday September 4th on the KA1RCI network). The VHF Net at 7 PM tomorrow, Thursday, is being run from the Portsmouth EOC.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy goes out to his three children and to all those who feel this loss.
John King no longer accepting visitors
We are saddened to report that John King is no longer able to accept visitors and has been moved from the Hospice in MA to another facility in RI. Keep John and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
