Hey All –

Just a heads-up for *after* the scheduled 09:30am CTRI meeting this Sat… esp. for the weary travelers coming ALL THE WAY over the bridges to the East Bay — a few of us plan to grab brunch/lunch just a 1/4 mi. away at Foodworks Restaurant (2461 East Main Rd., Portsmouth RI) in the small banquet dining room. If you would like to join us for a meal at the restaurant please RSVP to me ASAP (wbliss1@nullcox.net) so I can give Foodworks a head count. Approximate restaurant arrival time guesstimate is about 11:15-11:30 am, dependent on meeting length. Look forward to seeing some of you “On-Island”!

Safe travels… 73! Bill W1WBB

I have been busy this winter learning CW and studying to get my license upgraded. I came across this article which many will find of interest and hope to see you at the next meeting.
