NA1RA Northville Amateur Radio Association - Announcement Board - Ham Radio in Litchfield County Connecticut

The Next meeting of the Northville Amateur Radio Association will be on June 2nd at 7:00 PM. The meeting will be held at the VFW hall at 11 Avery Road in New Milford, CT. This month we will be discussing Field Day and have sign up sheets on hand so everyone can get involved in one way or another. We look forward to having a great field day this year! We will most likely not have an antenna building program as the ladder line will not arrive in time for the meeting. We will be arranging a separate work party to work on the new Field Day antenna.

The new golf ball launcher has arrived! We should have a nice easy time putting antenna lines into trees hehehehehe <---- James's evil laugh! Now it's off to Wal-Mart for a new fishing pole and some good line.

Important information - As of June 3 2008, the Northville Amateur Radio Association will no longer carry the T.I.P.S. net on the repeater system (also being cancelled by the KB1AEV system where we source the audio from). This was due to several reported rules violations that were brought to our attention. This decision was made among the trustees of the two repeater systems, and the status of the T.I.P.S. net will be reviewed in the fall to see if the net can be brought back to the systems.

Don't forget that the Northville Net (our clubs on air gathering) now happens every Monday night at 7:30 PM (ET) on our entire linked repeater system. This net is semi informal and all amateur radio operators are welcome to check in. If you can hear us, please drop in and say hello .... even if you are on Echolink node 1124!! The only Monday that the on air net does not occur is the Monday night that we meet in person.
