QCWA QSO PARTY

The Spring QCWA contest was interesting and several of our members did participate.   

W1EFW is back on the air once again!

Thanks to Fred Heffner, W1CKV,  we now have the callsign of our founder W1EFW as our club callsign.  On Sunday mornings at 10:30,  Paul K1AFI (our net manager) opens the net using the call W1EFW.   

We were able to obtain the callsign so that we could keep the memory of Milt Chaffee with us as we continue his original idea of this organization.

Fred is the trustee for our Nutmeg Chapter 149 .

Luncheon May 9, 2009    by K1MQ

The Hideaway Restaurant in Old Lyme was the location of our May Annual Meeting.  A total of 34 attended and packed the room once again.  We were limited in our seating arraingements, so we had a full house.

Our guest speaker discussed his operations in the communications division of the Naval Submarine Service.  His talk was very interesting since many of our members are old submariners themselves.

AUGUST 8 LUNCHEON will be held at Serafino's Restaurant in Wallingford.

The restaurant is located across the street from the Chevrolet Theater which was formally known as the Oakdale Theater.

The menu for August 8 is displayed on the News Gallery Page.

Always remember......to belong to our Nutmeg Chapter,  your National dues must also be kept up to date.
