Our Summer Family Picnic is scheduled for Saturday, August 27th at Greeley Park in Nashua. All club members and their family members are invited. This will be a potluck lunch and members are encouraged to bring a dish. I have created a sign-up sheet. You can view it here.
Please edit this sheet to indicate whether you will attend, how many family members including yourself will attend, and what you will bring.
We will start to gather around 10:00 am and lunch will be served at noon. Directions can be found on the club event calendar.
The rain date will be Sunday, August 28. If there is inclement weather in the forecast for Saturday, stay tuned to our Forums for updates.
The Nashua Area Radio Club has a dedicated team of Ham Radio license class instructors and we offer Technician, General, and Amateur Extra classes twice a year. We have a great track record using the Gordon West class materials and have 68 graduates who got their initial license or upgrade.
Our classes are held at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua, 2300 Southwood Drive in Nashua.
We setup a live VHF and HF station in the classroom, which allows us to provide live demonstrations of the class material. This helps students to better understand the material and also give them an idea of what they can do with their license once they have it.
Class Radio Station
This season, two new instructors have joined our team, Greg Fuller, W1TEN and Brian Smiglieski, AB1ZO, who are both graduates of our May 2016 Extra Class. They join our existing instructors Dave, N1RF, Skip K1NKR, Wayne AG1A, Aron W1AKI, Anthony, KC1DXL, Wayne, KB1HYL, Fred, AB1OC and Anita, AB1QB.
