The September CTRI meeting will be held at the W1XX QTH in South Kingstown. Quick directions: 48 Shannock Road…it’s a right-hand turn off Rte 1 South just before the Charlestown line…then 3rd driveway on the left…best parking near mailbox and across the street…top of the driveway will be blocked by 160 antenna awaiting verticality.
The meeting is the usual 10 AM, but there will be a 160 meter vertical antenna raising at 9:30 with all help much appreciated. Hard hats if you have one recommended.
Hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill post meeting. There will also be a door prize. For anyone interested there will be a tour in the woods of my 80 meter “el cheapo” 4-square antenna. If you expect to attend, post “comments” or email to w1xx [AT] cox [DOT] net appreciated.
Hope you will all come on down to South County. 73! — John, W1XX

Good news folks. The antenna analyzer brings great news to the 160 t-vertical. Resonant frequency is 1845 kHz with 1.2:1SWR and very broad-banded as per the large diameter aluminum. Almost exactly where it was before. In short, it works. Thanks to the great never-give-up attitude of CTRI. That’s what makes this club special: Thanks for the great team effort. If anybody needs lines shot over trees, I have bow-n-arrow, will travel. 73!! — John, W1XX
