Quite a few Nashua Area Radio Society members are headed for the Dayton Hamvention® this week. The theme of Hamvention 2019 is “Mentoring the Next Generation”.  We will be receiving some important recognition for our work to bring new Hams into the Amateur Radio Service, for our Amateur Radio related STEM learning programs in local schools, and for our many Ham Mentoring projects. We will be recognized as the Dayton Hamvention 2019 Club of the Year.  We will also be sharing The Nashua Area Radio Society Story as a forum presentation at Dayton.

We are also being recognized by the ARRL as a Spotlight Club for our Mentoring work. The ARRL has dedicated their “ARRL Spotlight on Radio Clubs and Mentoring” forum on Friday, May 17th at 11:50 am in Forum Room 3 to us so that we can share The Nashua Area Radio Society Story including ideas and programs that have worked well for us. You can view a copy of the presentation that we’ll be sharing by clicking on the image above. The presentation contains links to the embedded videos so you can enjoy those as well.

I want to express my deepest appreciation and thanks to all of the Nashua Area Radio Society members have contributed so much to our many projects, programs, and activities. Without all of you, we would not have been able to do what we have done to help others and to forward the Amateur Radio Service.

We hope that our readers who will be attending the Dayton Hamvention this year will join us for our Forum Presentation on Friday and will also stop by and see our display in the ARRL Booth at Dayton.

We’ll be sharing highlights from Dayton 2019 in our Forums as we go and Scott, NE1RD has time planned for us to share our Dayton experience at an upcoming meeting when we return.
