We have two great member activities coming up on August 25th and August 19th.
Family Picnic
We will hold our annual family picnic on Saturday, August 15th at Greeley Park in Nashua. All club members and their family members are invited. This is the same day as the Greeley Park Art Show.
The picnic will be a potluck lunch. To sign up to bring a dish, see the forum post https://www.n1fd.org/forums/topic/family-picnic-sign-up/
We will start to gather around 10:00 am and lunch will be served at noon. Rumor has it that some foxes may be on the loose around Greeley Park during the picnic! Directions can be found on the club event calendar.
ARRL Rookie Roundup RTTY
We will be hosting a multi-op entry for the ARRL Rookie Roundup RTTY on Sunday, August 19th. The contest starts at 18:00z (2:00 pm local time) and ends at 00:00z on Monday (8:00 pm local time Sunday). To be eligible for the rookie roundup, you must have received your first license in 2016, 2017 or 2018 OR have never made a RTTY mode QSO.
We will operate with the N1FD callsign from AB1QB/AB1OC’s QTH.
We will hold an elmering session before the contest starting at 1:00 pm on Sunday, August 12th at AB1QB/AB1OC’s QTH. Please plan to attend the elmering session if you want to operate in the contest and have never operated from our station or never operated RTTY. We will also help the newly licensed Hams to program their HTs at this time.
You can sign up by sending an email to Anita at [email protected]. Please let me know what times you are available and whether you plan to attend the elmering session on August 12th.
Operating slots are first come, first serve so be sure to sign up soon!
We hope to see you at one or both of the member activities in August!
