We have many fun Nashua Area Radio Club activities planned for the month of August.  We are planning a picnic in Greeley Park, a RTTY contest operation and a SOTA activation at Mount Washington.

Family Picnic in Greeley Park

We will hold our family picnic on Saturday August 19 at Greeley Park in Nashua starting at 10am.   We’ll have a potluck lunch at noon and a fox hunt!  You can browse through the Greeley Park Arts Show.  Members and their families are invited.    We will meet in the picnic area on the west side of Concord St.  This has been an enjoyable event in past years with plenty of great food and great friends!

Please RSVP to Anita, AB1QB at [email protected]  on or before August 12 so people bringing food and drinks can get an idea of how many people to bring for.  Let us know how many will be attending with you and what you are planning to bring. See the club calendar for more details.

ARRL Rookie Roundup RTTY

AB1OC and AB1QB will be hosting a multi-op team in the ARRL Rookie Roundup RTTY at our station on Sunday August 20.  The contest goes from 2:00pm – 8:00pm Eastern time.  To qualify, operators must have received their first license in 2015, 2016, or 2017 OR have never made a RTTY QSO. Take advantage of this opportunity to try out digital modes or to try out contesting.  If you are interested in operating, contact Anita, AB1QB at [email protected].  See the club calendar for details.

Mount Washington SOTA Activation

We will be holding a SOTA/POTA Activation at the summit of Mount Washington on Saturday, August 26.  Jamey has written a blog post with lots of information on Mount Washington and the activation.
