Greetings Members<\/p>\n
Here is a consolidated report of things happening around the Newport County Radio Club.<\/p>\n
Summer Field Day 2025 Results<\/strong> \u2013 In December 2025 QST magazine look on page 67.\u00a0 The NCRC participated in the most competitive 2A category and placed third behind the Radio Amateurs of Northern Vermont. W1NVT, and the Cape Fear Amateur Radio Society, K4MN. (Almost tied for second place). Congratulations to all members who pitched in to make it a successful and fun Field Day!<\/p>\n 2026 NCRC Annual Dues<\/strong> \u2013 At the November club meeting, after some healthy discussion, members agreed, voted on, and approved raising the annual dues from $25 to $40 beginning in 2026.\u00a0 This move was driven by inflation factors (dues have been $25 for over 20 years), and the club\u2019s desire to continue providing members with quality services such as a substantially upgraded W1SYE repeater system.<\/p>\n J-Pole Antenna Build Night<\/strong> \u2013 On Monday evening, December 1st<\/sup>, we will be hosting a build night at St. Barnabas Church starting at 7:00pm. You can build yourself a functioning J-Pole antenna that you can use with your 2-meter radio. Please click the link to let us know that you are coming and what style of antenna you wish to build.\u00a0 REGISTRATION<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0There will be a nominal cost for parts.

This has not been done for quite some time. We will be sending an email to all members soon to help facilitate this.<\/p>\n W1SYE 2-Meter Repeater<\/strong> \u2013 Our current repeater system is sorely in need of replacement. This is being acted upon as we speak. You can look forward to top-notch, clear performance once again. We\u2019d like to see more members using the repeater for friendly conversations not just during the nightly nets, but all through the day.<\/p>\n That\u2019s it for now.\u00a0 73s<\/p>\n Jim Sendrak \u2013 KC1LYG\u00a0 (860) 985-8558<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Greetings Members Here is a consolidated report of things happening around the Newport County Radio Club.
