The station will be open for the upcoming CQ WPX CW. Looking for operators! Will look at doing a Multi-2 if we can scare enough ops out of the bushes. Let me know! This is a work everybody contest, stateside and DX. Should be fun! Get on the air any way you can!

Congratulations to Molly Santaniello, KC1FTO, grand-daughter of Jim, KS1J, on earning her ham ticket. You might remember Molly from last year’s Field Day.
I have heard from the following individuals who are planning to attend tomorrow’s meeting at the Library around 10:00 AM: W1YRC, K1SD, KS1J, W1AN, K1DM, W1XX, W1WBB. All are welcome. Hope to see you there. We still have a few items that need attention dealing with Ed, W1PN’s move west, club non-profit status, field day 2016, etc.
I was out of town for a few days, so I’m a bit behind on publishing this information.
Congrats to Molly on passing her Technician’s license Exam. Welcome to the wonderful world of Amateur Radio. We’ll have to talk about Kid’s Day in June. I am planning on getting a bunch of (Delaware) Cub Scouts onto the radio that day!
73, Mike, K1DM, President
I’ll bring some home made choc-chip pecan cookies.

Gentlemen,
I haven’t seen a Request of Attendees (RoA) for tomorrow’s meeting.
I’m planning to attend and can present a Contest Manager’s Report (CMR).
Unless someone else is bringing coffee, I can.

We have a new junior op. Molly passed her Technician test today! It will be about two weeks before she gets her call and license. For the time being she will be operating from KS1J. If I were to guess, I think it will be mostly CW. Hmmm, I wonder how long before she gets her General and I can set up a multi-op!

The New England QSO Party is probably the contest most supported by CTRI thru the years. We have had an iron grip on the New England club plaque…and we should not take it for granted. Some upstart club could try to wrestle it away from us. What’s the message? Get your station on the air this weekend. We actually have some of the more rare counties that folks will be looking for….Bristol, Newport, Washington.
Speaking of rare counties. In last year’s NEQP something strange happened. There was a New England county not QRV….Dukes County Massachusetts a.k.a. Martha’s Vineyard. Heavens to mergatrude! That hasn’t happened since the year one. The proverbial portable HAMCOW station, W1ACT, has been retired to pasture. Tom K1KI has been pleading for someone to respond to this dilemma.
The call has been answered by CTRI. W1AN, W1XX, along with K1XA have after endless e-mails and phone calls coordinated with the Vineyard Amateur Radio Assn. to activate a portable station (W1DX) in Vineyard Haven. We will be catching an early morning ferry in Woods Hole on Sunday morning with radio, computer, antennas, etc. W1DX should be QRV around 9:30 AM Sunday morning returning Sunday evening. Look for us primarily on 20 or 40 meters.
The most sensible feature of NEQP is that there is an off time from 1 AM – 9 AM Sunday. This allows sleep time. Check neqp dot org for details and to “reserve your county.” A host of CTRI’ers have already indicated their intentions. Don’t miss this really fun contest and the opportunity to help the CTRI club score. GL!! — John, W1XX
I know that some of us might be serious about VHF. Just sayin…

It came in the mail today. Nice looking Plaque. CTRI Contest Group received First Place New England Club. Does this go on John W1AN’s wall?
Congrats Mike! Good going! I’m sure you will enjoy those “extra” privileges. Good luck with the vanity call
