The CW contest proved to be a great way to improve the CW skills of the rookies as well as the Elmers!  It was the perfect follow-on to the Morse Code Class held earlier this year.

We all had a great time in the contest and are looking forward to working another CW contest soon.

We’re also looking forward to the next Rookie Roundup, the SSB contest which will be on April 17.  We invite all of the new hams in the club to join us for the SSB version of the contest.

Nashua Area Radio Club – 2016 Highlights

Our club has had quite a year in 2016. We initiated many new activities and our members learned some new skills. Most importantly, we contributed a great deal to the Amateur Radio Service through license classes and other educational and outreach activities. We have plenty of material to include in our 2016 Highlights video which follows.
