Jim, KA1ZOU, and Pete, W1LAB, will be activating Despair Island on August 1st and Hope Island on August 2nd. Further details will be published in The Modulator. Please contact Jim if you are interested in either of these HF events.
In the words of Pete: “If you miss Despair, there is Hope tomorrow”
Willy, W1LY, and Pete, W1LAB, will be heading to Dyer Island on July 25th. They plan to meet at 08:30 at New England Boatworks. Contact them if you are interested in participating in this HF event.
We will have our regular club meeting at 7 PM in the KVH Manufacturing building cafeteria.
We will have some preliminary results discussion on Field Day as well as some comments on the recently completed “Safe Refuge 2015 Exercise”, which many NCRC/NCECT members participated in. Finally there will be a demonstration of how ham radio is used to coordinate various parts of a charity bicycle event.
Congratulations to David Neal, W2DAN, for upgrading to Extra Class this past Monday!
At the last meeting of the membership, June 8, 2015, the final reading of the proposed Constitution and Bylaws modifications was made. The membership then voted to adopt the changes, which add a new membership category (Youth, for under 18 members), having full voting privileges, but a dues rate that is to be “no more than half” the regular dues.
A revised Constitution and Bylaws document will be posted to the member-only part of the website soon.
