Happy New Year!
Looks like Mother Nature is handing us an exceptionally nice night for our January 13 2020 meeting, which begins at 7 PM at KVH (75 Enterprise Drive, Middletown RI).
We will have our regular business meeting, discuss the upcoming Florida Island Activation, and of course Winter Field Day (Jan 25/26). Following the meeting there will be logging demonstrations and practice for those helping with WFD.
We’ll have another of the popular Build Nights at All Saints STEAM Academy on Wednesday, January 15th. For details, click on the calendar, see the new Modulator or link to: https://w1sye.org/?tribe_events=tape-measure-yagi-antenna-build-night
Participants will leave with a tape measure Yagi antenna that is highly directional and having a deep null toward the rear.
Very few club members have signed up for the Club Dinner on Monday December 9th. We will have to turn in our best estimate to the restaurant very soon. So if you are planning on going please make your reservations now by CLICKING THIS LINK.
Despite losing a large chunk of time on Saturday due to horrible weather (hail and thunderstorms) and equipment failures, Newport County Radio Club finished 2nd place nationally in our 2A category. That is our highest finishing position in history!
We finished in 4th place in the New England Division when looking at all transmitter categories (2, 3, and 11)
And 1st place in RI
The next NCRC meeting will be held on Monday November 11th — yep that Veteran’s Day, and KVH is open.
The primary focus of the business meeting will be the election of officers, discussion of the December Christmas Party, and upcoming Winter Field Day events. There is no planned presentation, but a short ham-related video might be shown.
