W1SYE Activates a New Island – Cranberry
The intrepid NCRC crew activated another island, Cranberry, in the Providence River at 11 AM today. The irony that it was colder today than during Winter Field Day didn’t escape anyone. Rich, KA1ARO, Paul, N1PSX, and member hopeful Mike, KA1IOO decided that snow/ice and cold weather wouldn’t keep them away.

The first contact was made at 15:00 UTC on 14.252 MHz and the pileup continued for a few hours. Within less than 30 minutes they had contacted 25 stations and 2 DX stations, making the activation of US Islands RI022R official.
