Jim K1GND and Bob W1YRC host a monthly ham radio tutorial event that they call
“The Consortium“. They meet at the Asia Grille at Lincoln Mall on Rte. 116 in
Lincoln, usually on the first Monday of the month.  Meetings start at 6:30 PM, however, people start arriving after 5:00 PM for dinner before the meeting.

The next event on January 8th will be on Digital Modes and will be given by Mike K1VI.

(ED: I’ve been to a couple of The Consortium meetings.  They are well worth your while, well attended, and the food is great)

Paolo Nespoli

RI students and the general public are invited to watch the livestream of the event starting at 1140AM via https://livestream.com/accounts/9685187/events/7946215

Claudio, IK1SLD,  will be operating the ground station and linking to Bishop Hendricken via telebridge.  The student questions are expected to begin around 12:04PM.

Bishop Hendricken is expected to become RI’s first high school to have such a contact. 

This opportunity comes from the volunteers at Rhode Island STEAM Academy who view early and regular exposure to STEAM problem-solving as critical to the growth of Rhode Island’s economy.
