Join Winter Field Day this weekend anytime from 2:00 Saturday until 2:00pm Sunday for 20 minutes or 2 hours or the whole 24 hours – it’s up to you!!!

• Club Station: Anyone is welcome to stop by Glen Park, Portsmouth, RI and visit the competitive tent-bound club station operating as W1SYE  for 24 hours straight. Carl KC1NAM will be there doing satellite setup and operating in his ham-van on Saturday from Noon to dusk – clearly visible. Operations at GLEN PARK are in a field on Barker Lane, which is off Glen Rd, which is off East Main Rd opposite Anna D’s Café near the Green Grocer in Portsmouth, RI. (Or other local or RI landmarks or where they used to be, depending on many things.)
• Solo Ops: NCRC encourages all club members to use their own call sign and make at least a few contacts sometime this weekend on 2m Simplex or HF. A battery-powered handheld radio contact made outdoors is one easy way to be 1O-RI (ONE OUTDOOR RI) and get in the logbooks. Invite your friends and XYLs to get on the radio too. From her 1H-RI UHF/VHF base station, Nancy KC1NEK will be welcoming all Simplex calls Saturday 2-5pm and Sun 10-Noon. You can pre-program your radio to these good Simplex channels to know in our area and test your reach:
  W1SYE Simplex 146.55; RI-ARES Simplex 147.420; 70cm option 446.1
