Bring your Family to the Contoocook Valley Radio Club Christmas Party. We always have such a good time!
On December 12, little before 6 PM, we set up tables and chairs in our regular Meeting Room in the Hopkinton Public Library in Contoocook, then the fun begins!
We will eat around 6 PM. (Arriving 20 minutes ahead of time, you may help set up, decorate, or arrange the buffet table.) After eating, we await the announcement of the CVRC Election results followed by laughing through our “Yankee Swap”!
Please sign up for attending and/or bringing something to the “Pot Luck” Dinner. We would like an idea for seating. (And avoiding 21 fruit cakes and no side dishes!)

Contoocook Valley Radio Club (CVRC) in New Hampshire Field Day Plans.
As the ham radio community gets ready for the ARRL 2023 Field Day, on June 24-25, we need your help; with setting up, operating radios, and taking down the setups.
Field Day runs for 24 hours of radio operating time, from 14:00 Saturday afternoon to 14:00 on Sunday local time. Of course, we set up before, and take down afterwards.
Remember that on Field Day, all are welcome, unlicensed and amateur licensees alike, will be operating under the “Club Call Sign” and this is a wonderful opportunity for folks to try out bands and privileges they may still be studying for.
Your participation, even for as little as a half hour is welcome, or just come and observe, you might be pleasantly surprised if you get bitten by the “transmit bug” The most important this is to JUST SHOW UP.
We will be operating once again this year at the home location of Dale and Mickie Clement, located at 49 Corbin Rd, Henniker, NH but if you get lost, you can always call them at 603-428-3840.
Meals will be provided for participants, (deli sandwiches, clone Egg McMuffins, Chinese takeout), but if you have special dietary restrictions you’re welcome to bring your own.
Please take a moment now to look over the list of times and tasks listed below, then just reply to this email, and let me know where to pencil you in. Likewise if you will not be able to attend, please just RSVP and let me know so I can save you from getting follow-up emails.
Thanks
