In addition, members are reminded that we will be running a HF station, open to the public, at the Beavertail Lighthouse this weekend. You are all invited to pop in and get on the air or simply enjoy the beautiful location.  For details see: https://w1sye.org/?page_id=1069

Saying Goodbye to the Middletown ARC

Posted on by

The Red Cross has decided to move out of its Middletown facility, and hopes to eventually find a new location somewhere on the island (more space, more parking, handicapped accessible, etc.).

Willy Maclean spent a good part of today (with Henricus) removing all club equipment and uninstalling the outside antennas.  We all owe Willy a debt of gratitude for taking care of that.  Many thanks to the Red Cross for sharing their space with us for many years — we hope to continue our relationship at their new location.
