This weekend the Blackstone Valley Amateur Radio Club (BVARC) held its annual Holiday Party in northern RI, with good cheer all around. BVARC club president Ken Trudel, N1RGK recounted a few club highlights from the year, including news of BVARC’s steadily growing membership to now around 70. Amateur radio is alive and well in Rhode Island!
