Rich, KC1ARO, Paul, KC1AQP, and Paul, N1PSX, went to Arcadia State Park for a campout on the solstice and some radio activation. They made 21 contacts on 6, 20 and 40m. Some on CW, but mostly on SSB, running 80 watts from battery power.
XMT2XMT ?!?
XMT2XMT — What the heck is that? Well, it is Christmas Tree to Christmas Tree QSOs, of course!
John, WA1ABI, Rich, KC1ARO, Bruce, NJ3K, and Bob, WB4SON, have all used their Christmas Tree Lights and QRP rigs, and had CW QSOs using the lights as an antenna.
Finally an audio recording of the QSO between John and Rich
Christmas Party December 14
The 2015 Christmas party will be held again at the Mainstay Inn in Newport on December 14th. This event and location have proved to be comfortable, convenient, and the food is fine. Cash bar cocktails begin at 6:00 PM and the excellent buffet dinner begins at 7:00 PM.
After dinner we will introduce the incoming club officers for 2016 and then have some laughs with a Yankee Raffle.
This cornucopia of good cheer is yours for $33 per person. Call Ed Gosling at (401) 846-0812 to make your reservation. You can pay at the door, but do call Ed soon so he can plan gracefully. You are encouraged to bring a small gift to place on the Yankee Raffle table.
