My early indication that last Saturday’s CTRI luncheon might meet in a phone booth proved unfounded…happy to say. It was a very FB affair with something like 16 attending….with lots of the usual chatter on contesting, DXing, who worked K1N…all good fun with camaraderie, kibitzing, etc. I did not want to see it go unrecognized, so here’s my unofficial observer report.
Veep K1SD called an impromptu meeting with the highlight being the election of three new members: Russ, KA1ERL; Bob, WB4SON; Willy, W1LY; all members of the W1AW/1 Team RI. K1SD is forwarding their e-mail addresses to Sec. W1PN for passwords to the CTRI website.
Great to see CTRI member and our RI Section Manager W1YRC present.
I’d like to offer my accolades to Jim KS1J for his efforts to locate and gather e-mail addresses of past active members that encourage them to rejoin the fray.
Lotsa contests on the horizon….CTRI credited scores big and small welcomed.

This is the first one I have made in several years and I too had a great time. I was also happily surprised at the turnout and it makes me wonder whether we should bring back our picnic. Photos of the last one I remember are up on the banner strip. I think I see Pat NG1G in the back and not sure but it might be Paul W1HY in front. That was at Goddard Park and was also a lot of fun. Get-togethers like these are fun and strengthen the club! Maybe we can discuss at an upcoming meeting.
