If anyone has a need for some 75 ohm RG11, I have a coil of about 180 feet available. It is marked “M17/6 – RG11 MIL-C-17E 77314 Plastoid Corp.” It is not brand new, but it has always been stored inside and has never been used and is in good physical condition.
If anyone wants all of it or a part of it, make me an offer.

It’s that time again. If you are familiar with the interactive meeting notice skip down to “Topics“. This is an interactive meeting notice. What, you may ask, is an interactive meeting notice? As the phrase suggests, it is a meeting notice which requires interaction by the readers. For example: we need to have topics for presentation at the meeting; we need presenters; we need volunteers to provide lunch; we need to know who is coming to the meeting so the quantity of lunch portions may be determined, and so on. This post will be updated as interactions (comments) are appended.

Lunch provider: None
Coffee and Donuts by: Donuts by K3IU, Coffee by ?

The picture below shows that the SteppIr from Chris’ estate gift to CTRI is again up in the air on a tower and working, this time at the Tiverton, RI, QTH of N1NK. Everything seems to be working and the new owner is very pleased.

Greetings fellow contesters,
I have made an executive decision to move the May meeting to May 16th, 2015. The reason has to do with the planned program and the presentation of the Field Day Proposal. John, W1XX has been our lead on preparing the Field Day proposal. He cannot attend a meeting on May 9th. Mike, KA1RFJ, is supposed to present his take on the YCCC program he attended about “Which Transceiver is best for my station,” and he cannot attend the meeting on the 9th either.
Our hard-working VP has made the necessary arrangements with the North Kingston Public Library so that we can meet at their facility on May 16th, so we should be good to go. Meeting time is our usual time.
The 4-person Field Day Task Force has been working on getting the proposal ready for presentation. We, W1XX, W1PN, W1AN, and K1DM have made several visit to potential FD sites, including RF noise evaluations, so we’re getting more confident in the utility of the two sites we are considering.
Additional information about the proposal will be forthcoming. Keep checking the posts on the Web site!
Mike, K1DM

Yankee Clipper Contest Club, one of the largest Ham Radio clubs in the Northeast, is proud to open it’s doors to the general Ham population of the area! We invite all hams to come and experience one of our meetings. We will be presenting special material, of interest to all hams who operate the HF bands, relating to design and construction of your ham radio station.
Presentations will include:
“Antenna Selection and Design- What’s Important” – by Joe Reisert, W1JR
YCCC is a club of over 350 members who are interested in Contesting. As such, we have developed a high level of expertise in station and antenna system design and HF transceiver selection, and would love to share this with the general ham community in the region. Whether you are just starting to put together your first station, or are well on your way, we’re certain you will pick up some great tips from these talks!
Please come and meet with our members, and hear some presentations that can have an immediate impact on the performance of your station!
We will also be selling raffle tickets to support the YCCC ARRL Youth Scholarship. Tickets will be sold for $25 per chance to win an Elecraft K3/100 Transceiver. We expect to hold the drawing at this meeting* – a lucky ham will go home with a new Elecraft K3/100 kit!
* Cash or checks accepted, no credit cards. YCCC reserves the right to delay the drawing until sufficient tickets have been sold to cover the prize and the donation.

As some of you experienced or heard, conditions for last weekends Russian DX contest were challenging. Fortunately conditions are rapidly improving for the next big one, the CQ WPX Phone contest. Work everyone everywhere. Multipliers are unique prefixes. I hope all can put some time in the chair. And there is plenty of chair time available here at W1AN/W1DX. I don’t have a special prefix (yet) but high Q rates can be expected.

This 24 hour contest ends in about 3 hours. Please post your results here by adding a reply to this posting and I will include them in the CTRI Champions competition leaderboard.

I was reminded today at our regular meeting that I had not posted the leaderboard that contained the results posted through the 2015 ARRL Phone DX Contest. Sorry ’bout that. As a reminder, this spreadsheet shows not only the raw scores for each of the contest, but also beginning at Row 35 is a display of the handicapped scores using the previously defined rules. If you click on the Tab labeled TOTALS, you should see a table with the current handicapped standings. For info about the handicapping, please co to this link… http://ctri.club/2014/09/07/a-proposal-for-handicapping-scores-in-the-ctri-champions-competition/
