Gordon West Extra Class Book – Used in our License Class
Our last license class this Spring will be the Extra Class scheduled for April 28-30 at Dartmouth Hitchcock Nashua. We still have openings in the class – you can sign up using the online form on our website. We hold the exam session at the end of the class so you could walk out with your Extra license and get privileges to all of the Amateur Bands!

N1FD Certificate from the 2016 ARRL Rookie Roundup SSB
We will be hosting a multi-op entry using the club callsign, N1FD from the AB1OC/AB1QB QTH. Help us defend our title from last year as #1 Multi-Op Area 1. This is an opportunity to get on the HF bands if you just got your license and don’t have a station setup yet, or a chance to get some practice if you want to try running some pile-ups before Field Day.
If you have never operated from our station before, we will hold an elmering session on Saturday, April 15 from 2 pm – 4 pm, also at our QTH.
A 12-man team will be active from Niger as 5U5R between March 9-21, 2017. QRV on 6 to 160 meters; CW, SSB and RTTY with at least 4 stations on the air simultaneously. Full details here
DX World DXpedition Calendar for March
Like to chase DX? There is quite a bit of good DX on the air this week. I just worked 5U5R from Niger, which was an ATNO (All Time New One) for me! 9N7EI from Nepal and TU7C from Cote D’Ivoire are also on the air.
The DX World website has a calendar for the month which shows all of the DXpeditions for the month. It also has announcements for upcoming DXpeditions.
