Presidents Corner

I wish to thank all members for your support as your club president last year and your votes in June giving me the opportunity to serve as club president for the coming year. Every September begins a new NSRA year of monthly meeting, Public service and fun for each member , and I will work hard with the club officers to continue another great year. This summer went well for the club, beginning at the annual field day in June, and fortunately the rain held of till mid Sunday afternoon , which allowed us to do everything we had planned in Endicott Park. By every measure and comment I heard our Field Day was enjoyed by all , many thanks to all who helped in the food department It all went great. On July 8th I attended the ARRL New England cabinet meeting in Portsmouth,N.H. It was a chance to met our ARRL director Tom Frenaye K1KI and other club officers,and to compare notes,along with the latest information and proposals the ARRL is working on.. The Sunday NSRA net the following day I was glad to share some of this info. Our Sunday nets continued each Sunday this summer and was well attended with check-ins,many thanks for every one who continue to keep our net on Sunday nights at 8;30 going so well The Chinese dinner night out on August 9th passed all expectations by close to forty members and guest enjoying great food and get-together on a mid-summer night evening. I look forward to seeing you on September 17th and the start of another fine year for the NSRA.

73's to all

Hello everyone. I hope everyone has had a great summer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in Field Day this year. We had a lot of help in both setup and tear down which is always a great help. And huge help from Kate N1RYQ on the grill and getting the food together along with Al W1DUW. We have submitted to ARRL for Field day 2400+ points, which is better than the last couple of years. I'm sure we will do even better next year. If any of you want to help with preparations for next years Field Day, we'll be starting up around January or February to start getting things ready. We have already paid for the reservation at Endicott Park so we are all set there.
