Good evening everyone,

We will be meeting on Wednesday, July 10th at the Steak House restaurant at 6pm – postponed from last Weds. due to the holiday. We hope to see you there!

As for field day, efforts are still being put forth to tabulate contacts and bonus points for a final “claimed score”. Continue to check the Field Day 2019 page on the website for updates.

Field Day updates

Hello everyone,

Field Day 2019 is fast approaching! As we finalize details for the event, please continue to check the field day page, available here: www.w1bd.club/fieldday/

There are directions to the tower from downtown Montpelier, as well as parking information. We are still working on getting volunteers for a shuttle service to and from the Tower for those who have difficulty navigating the terrain, so if you’re interested in helping out, please contact one of our officers.

Talk-in services will be available before and during Field Day on the Williamstown repeater.  Please call W1BD.

Any volunteers are welcome to join us this Friday morning (6/21) after 10am to help setup the site. The National Guard has kindly offered their services and tents for the duration of the event, so we’ll be setting those up at 10 and stringing antennas soon after.

We hope to see you there!

President, CVARC

June 5th meeting & field day update

This month’s meeting will be held on the Williamstown repeater (625) at 6pm. This will be conducted like a directed net, similar to the Sunday night net. The President will act as net control, and direct all traffic alongside the other club officers. Club members and non-members alike are welcome and invited to check in. We will stay on the air to answer questions at the end.

The CVARC Field Day planning committee will be working on building antennas for field day. If you are interested in assisting with this effort, please contact one of the officers.

As was mentioned at the last meeting, CVARC plans to sell off some of its equipment to help fund different areas of the club. A list of gear and pricing will be announced at tomorrow’s meeting, but please keep an eye on the forums – anything not sold will be posted there, and will go to internet auction soon after if not sold.

The monthly meeting will be held Wednesday, April 3rd, at 6pm, hosted at the Steakhouse Restaurant in Barre on rt. 302.
