Future talks at NARC...

If you are reading this you are probably of our NARC Live! viewers too and we hope that this streamed programme has helped keep you informed and entertained.

But we have a bit of a problem coming up and hope you may be able to help so please read on...

The weekly programme has meant that we have had to organise a formal talk or subject for every single week of the year, whereas when the club met normally pre-covid we would only have a talk once or twice a month with social informals and things like table top sales etc in intervening. Whilst this has hopefully been enjoyable, the problem is that having weekly talks or activities for the NARC Live programme, which is jointly shared between our programme secretary Roger G3LDI and myself, has been burning through so many of our contacts and ideas at roughly three times the normal rate and, frankly, Roger and I are beginning to run dry for new speakers and talks coming up.

So we need your help in finding new talks, speakers and subjects for them as we do not want to have to start repeating things or stop doing them altogether because of lack of speakers. Of course at some point the club will start meeting again at the school when things are settled, but we will still need talks and subjects for then, so if you possibly can please dig deep and think about any talks you have seen online and link them to us, or maybe even consider giving a talk or demonstration of something yourself. Maybe something on a a different mode we have not seen, like SSTV for example...

We hope to hear from you 

Thanks

Over to you...

If you know of a Norfolk on-air net, repeater, or anything else you would like us to share so that others can join in the company, please let us know and we will help publicise it. It can be any net or general interest and not necessarily anything to do with NARC or even just Norfolk.

NARC Appeal for more Contest Operators.
.
For this year it has been the aim of NARC to make a concerted effort to win the 80m Autumn Series for the first time.
So far we have achieved 3 first place results in the first 3 out of 9 events.
It does appear that 3As Contest Group are possibly intent on also winning this Autumn Series and they've given us some very strong opposition to date.
This year 3As have brought in some of their operators who haven't been active for a while, consequently they've been entering more logs of a very high calibre which could erode our current first place overall.
.
We do have a number of operators who have not joined us so far in this Autumn Series and if we are to hold off any strong challenges we really do need their valuable help to gain as many points as possible in the remaining 5 contests.
Please consider joining us in this short series of contests, even just a few contacts will all help to swell the entry from NARC.
There are events for SSB, CW and PSK/RTTY, similar to the 80m CCs.
Please help us in just one or all modes if possible.
It is your club please support it with 110% effort.

NARC and the Coronavirus.... Updated 10th September

Details

Published: 12 March 2020

Last Updated: 10 September 2020

With the government advice of March 16th you will probably not be surprised to learn that the committee and officers of this club have suspended all physical meetings and events for the forseeable future, with immediate effect. However we are aiming to continue to provide an active club presence with a NARC Live! TV stream with guests as well as nets etc which we very much hope you will support and join in.

Whilst schools have now opened, on September 9th the governement annouced that no more than 6 people could meet inside or outside, except for schools, covid secure workplaces and a few other specialised reasons, so as a predominantly social-club we still cannot meet but hope that the NARC Live! stream every Wednesday evening together with nets etc will keep the club together in a virtual way in spirit....

The Club AGM and awards evening originally scheduled for Wednesday April 1st did not take place, but at an online committee meeting on 16th March all club officers and commitee agreed to stay on to run the club for as long as it takes until we can safely reschedule meetings.

As I said previously we will strive to keep the function of the club going with a NARC Live! stream or radio net on Wednesday evenings, plus other onair/online events we will bring to you. After all, communication is at the heart of our hobby, so I feel we should try and put this technology and skill to good use and continue to bring companionship to everyone in our hobby, especially to those who are vulnerable or on their own. And if there is something you feel the club can do to help someone specific, please let one of the committee know and we will do our best.

Please continue to keep an eye on the front page of our website for the latest club news.

Take Care and stay safe.
