CVRC News
- WWW.K1BKE.ORG has been reconstructed utilizing a new web publishing program, NetObjects Fusion Essentials, a no-cost program. The originally used program, Microsoft FrontPage, has not been supported for several years, and is no longer available. Fusion appears to be a perfectly respectable program. Pardon the construction dust as the conversion, a multi-day process, is cleaned up. k1jy
- Upcoming CVRC Events -
The next regular club meeting is February 9th at the Hopkinton Town Library. Dale Clement, AF1T, is our new Vice President and Program Co-coordinator. Here are activities planned for the next two months:
Tuesday, February 9, 7:30, Hopkinton Library. Guest Speaker: CVRC VP Dale Clement, AF1T. Subject: "An Illuminating Introduction to Antennas". Since our club members will be involved with running the Hamfest on March 21st, Dale will give a preview of the RF Talk on this night, so no one will miss it. If you plan on taking any of the license exams, be sure to see this demonstration, as it will answer many of your questions. Dale has added new antennas and features to his talk.
- In March, we have an ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) talk.
The CVRC's Indoor Flea Market and VE session will be on Sunday, March 21, The Contoocook Valley Radio Club will hold the 2010 Indoor Ham Radio Flea Market With V E Session. We will have three great guest speakers, and several valuable door prizes. Don Curtis, N1ZIH, is in charge of the Hamfest this year. To book tables, call Don at: 603-717-2086.
All members of our club are invited to attend and help out with the set up, running, and clean up. We will have a club table where you can help sell your own and the club's radio equipment. We need help at the Ticket, Membership, and Hot Dog Tables. Home made baked goods (Especially Chocolate) are appreciated for the food table. More about the Hamfest Speakers, next month.
The FCC license Exam VE Session, will take place on at the Flea Market on Sunday, March 21, Registration at 9 AM, testing starts at 9:30. Michael Murphy, WA1VKO, is heading up the Testing, again, this year. To help out as a Volunteer Examiner, call Murph at: 603-382-6889.
Every year, the Hamfest turns out to be a fun activity and we all come away feeling that we accomplished a Good Thing. See you all there! For ALL the information, download the Flea Market Flyer; copy it and post at stores and local post offices.

- Planetarium Project - a new page has been added devoted to the ongoing ham radio station project at McAuliffe Shepard Discovery Center, formerly the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium. Check here for updates on this project.
- And a Very Merry Time Was Had By All - Many thanks to Allen's Restaurant in Boscawen, for providing us with a delicious meal, and a great location for our annual Christmas Party. Many thanks to every member who attended. I think this was the best one, ever! I laughed so hard, and enjoyed the reactions to the "Yankee Swap" presents, especially when Dale won a Dart Board, Lee won a feather boa, Katie won an ugly plastic doll, (she said she had won a rubber chicken at her last "Yankee Swap". -This made the chicken look good!), she then traded it for an Obama Plate. (The ugly doll will probably turn up at Dale's Poor Taste Party on Jan. 3.)
Congratulations to our CVRC Officers: John Moore, N1FOJ, was re-elected, tonight, as Club President. Dale Clement, AF1T, is the New Vice President and Activities Coordinator. Mickie Clement, W1MKY, is the new Treasurer. Jennifer Eastman was re-elected to the position of Secretary. Jim McElroy, NS1E, retired as Treasurer. Jim did a super job as both Treasurer and as the Organizer of our Hamfest. Thank you, Jim!
We wished Happy Birthday, to Jan McElroy, Mickie Clement,W1MKY, Sarah Dustin, Ken Wilkens, K1MID, Tom Perkins,AC1J, and John Moore, KB1CSI. At the end of the evening, the waitresses said we are such a nice group! Salt of the Earth we are!
