In-person meeting Mon July 11, 7PM, at St Barnabas

We are happy to announce that our next NCRC meeting will be IN-PERSON.  It will be at St. Barnabas, in the parish hall, beginning at 7 PM on Monday July 11th.  This will be a hybrid meeting, so folks that can’t attend in person can join in via Zoom.  Your invitation will be arriving via email soon.

St Barnabas is located at 1697 East Main RD, in Portsmouth RI.  The church faces East Main, and the parish hall is located in back of the church.  See the map below.

We will have a short business meeting, vote on new members, and discuss the preliminary results from Field Day (Formal results don’t come out until November).  But mostly, this is an opportunity to meet your fellow members and socialize.

Time for a road trip!

GOTA@GOTA next Saturday

Our first Gatherings On The Air happening.
NCRC will be providing a Get On The Air activity on Saturday June 18 from 2:30  to 5 pm at  the St Barnabas Festival in Portsmouth.
We will include an HF station on 40, 20  and 15m and a demonstration on our W1SYE repeater with a personal safety chat by Prez Nancy, KC1NEK.   If you can’t make the Festival, please join us on the air to give kids and families a pleasant radio contact experience.  We will use the NE1RI call sign and hopefully get folks to know about Field Day on the following Saturday.  Questions? email k1ybe@yahoo.com

NCRC Meeting Monday June 13 at 7 PM

Hello all!

Our next meeting is this coming Monday, June 13th at 7 PM.  As usual, it will be held via Zoom.  Members will be receiving a Zoom invitation via email within the next day.  As usual, our business meeting will be short, and members are advised to check the Committee Reports for detailed information of things that have been going on.

Our classes have successfully completed along with 3 VE sessions, all of which were expeditiously completed electronically using tablet computers.  Congratulations to 15 new Technicians and 5 folks upgrading to General and Extra.

After the business meeting, we will focus on Field Day preparations (June 24/25/26), then we will have set of longer breakout meeting rooms for casual conversation, followed by the big room for chatting until the wee hours.

If you can help with Field Day setup/takedown/feeding, please use this form to let us know

DX Fun during the W1SYE 10m Net

There were 16 stations that checked into the 10-meter net this evening (7:30 PM, Thursday, 28.305 MHz).  About six of them were in other states (FL, ME, OH).

Of course the noise level is quite pleasant on 10-meters as well.

Join us some Thursday night at 7:30 PM!
