No Formal August NCRC Meeting – IOTA Meeting Aug 11

Posted on by

Due to state holidays and other schedule conflicts, the regular NCRC meeting for August has been canceled.

We continue to need operators for the two Island on the Air events happening the weekend of August 16.  The first will be on August 16th only, at the Dutch Island Light.  The second will be at the Goat Island Light on both August 16 and 17.

As we are holding TWO events on that weekend we continue to need operators willing to help with the HF operations.  Our other activations have been wildly successful and have been a lot of fun for those involved.

To that end we will be holding an informal meeting on Monday August 11th at 7 PM outside on the patio at KVH.  This will be a short meeting intended to coordinate the Dutch Island and Goat Island activity.

The Original 13 Colonies Special Event

Posted on by

The colony stations will operate from Tuesday, July 1st, 9:00 AM Eastern (1300 UTC) until Sunday Night, July 6th, 00:00 (Midnight) Eastern (0400 UTC July 7th).

ALL Colony states have a SINGLE QSL manager for you to QSL to, listed on our website and on my QRZ.com page under my call (KU2US).Please do not send cards to each individual operator, this is what the state QSL manager is for. It will be faster and easier. An SASE would be appreciated!

All our operators are excited to get this event rolling! We are fully staffed and praying for good propagation.
