CTRI Contest Group
Dear CTRI Members:
Last month, the CTRI club resumed in-person meetings at the North Kingstown Free Library. Warm sentiments of coming together after the extended hiatus were evident, and the group was unanimous in its desire to continue regular, in-person meetings. I have taken on the responsibility of booking the meeting room as long as it continues to be available, but the online reservation system only provides a window of 90-days in advance. I will discuss optimum dates with Bill, W1WBB to schedule meetings in order to avoid prime contesting weekends as we have always done, and I will book the room when the window opens. At this point, we have the following dates confirmed. All times are 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Saturday, January 22, 2022

I will also continue to send out an email blast to the membership from the web site for those who have not subscribed to the groups.io reflector. I look forward to seeing everyone again in January, and happy contesting.
73,
Charlie, K1ECU

Blackstone Valley Amateur Radio Club
W1DDD
The Consortium which was conducted at the Asia Grille by members of BVARC was halted last year because of Covid restrictions after 14 years of operation. The Consortium provided basic radio training, the sort of basic learning that we old timers obtained while studying to obtain our licenses. The made-easy methods of learning material needed to pass Tech through Extra tests did so without teaching much regarding why things worked as they did. I’m pleased to report the return of the Consortium. Unfortunately, the Asia Grille cannot accommodate us due to some internal logistical problems at the present time but the Manville Sportsmen’s Club, 250 High St, Manville is willing to provide us with quarters for October, November and December. It will be determined at
the end of that period how and where the Consortium will continue.
During the Covid time out, study material was provided by e mail, which
is not as beneficial but is useful and hopefully welcome.
Meetings are held the last Monday of every month at 7:30pm at Slatersville Congregational Church, 25 Green St, Slatersville, RI. Visit their website at www.w1ddd.org for more information Contact : Bob Jones, WB1P E Mail: wb1p@arrl.net Tel: 401-333-4787
