The 789 contacts from the Winter Field Day event have been uploaded to the W1SYE Logbook of the World (LotW) database.
With that update, we now have 47 confirmed states (still need Alaska, Hawaii and Montana), and 26 confirmed countries.
Feb 8 Meeting Cancled
Due to the impending snow storm, tonight’s meeting has been canceled.
Meeting: Monday Feb 8, 7 PM KVH
We will be having our regular NCRC meeting at KVH this coming Monday at 7 PM.
In addition to our usual business items, the will be a discussion on the very successful Winter Field Day activation at the end of January, as well as voting on a new member applicant (Alan, KB1DJ). After the regular meeting an excellent video on the K1N Navassa Island DXpedition will be shown.
Please don’t forget that dues are due. At this point 51 of 84 members have paid. You can check the member roster to see if you have paid — look on the 2016 column on the right — if you see “2016” by your name, then you’ve paid your dues, otherwise we don’t have a record that you’ve paid. Please contact Ted, W1GRI, if you have any dues questions. And you can pay online by clicking on the “Pay Dues or Donate” tab.
Hope to see you Monday night!

A nice goal for the summer would be to obtain Worked All States (WAS) andd DX Century Club (DXCC) status for the club.
Thanks to all the hard working activators too!
Don’t Forget – You Can Work DXCC for W1SYE
If you ask John, K1JSM, for permission to be sure things are coordinated, you can operate as W1SYE from your home station and wrack up DXCC or WAS points for the club.
For example, a club member using the W1SYE call made contact with VP8SGI, South Georgia Island (AN-007), off the coast of Antarctica today (14.023.216/14.024.300 CW @ 20:37:34 UTC 2016/2/1). Another was made the following day on 17 meters.
Remember to stay within your own operating privileges — in the example above the contact was in the Extra CW segment.
