Greetings:

The next Consortium is Monday at 7:00 PM. Jim will present a summary of the function controls on an IC-7300 and how to use them.

They are fairly representative of controls on other radios and Jim’s comments should be widely helpful.
As always, the Consortium will be held at the Manville Sportsmen’s Club, 250 High St., Manville, RI.
See you there.

73,

Bob Beaudet, W1YRC

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!

An Awards plaque was presented to Marc Caouette, W1MCX for his years of service as BVARC Vice President and ARRL Assistant Section Manager to Bob Beaudet, W1YRC.

Marc is a working IT professional looking forward to a new chapter of adventures in amateur radio.  Can’t wait to see where your journey takes you!
