Various articles of interest to hams starting out in the hobby will be posted here<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beyond belonging to an active Amateur Radio Club like NCRC, one of the best things a new ham can do is join the ARRL (American Radio Relay League).\u00a0 The ARRL is the national organization representing Amateur Radio in the United States.\u00a0 Membership has\u00a0 options to receive a choice of one physical magazine like QST, and can electronically access copies of the many others.\u00a0<\/em> “On The Air” magazine is a great source of information to new hams, and you’ll notice several articles referenced below.\u00a0 Please consider joining the ARRL.<\/a><\/p>\n

NCRC is an Affiliated and Special Service Club of the ARRL and at least 51% of our members belong to the ARRL.\u00a0 \u00a0See our certificate at:\u00a0 Newport County Radio Club 2023 Special Service Club<\/a><\/p>\n
