See our Field Day 2014 Web Page for details. If you might be interested, please contact Bob, WB4SON

The website has the PowerPoint presentations that were given at the CCRI meeting at the end of April.
Saying Goodbye to the Middletown ARC
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.
Next Meeting, KVH, Monday May 12 at 7 PM
The next meeting of the Newport County Radio Club will be held at KVH Industries beginning at 7 PM on Monday, May 12th.
In addition to our usual business agenda, we expect to be discussing Field Day (only 50 days away!) and our upcoming Beavertail Lighthouse Activation.
A presentation will be given by KVH describing their product offering and facilities.
