RANV membership meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month
at 7 PM at the Wheeler House, 1100 Dorset Street, just south of Swift St, South Burlington.
As you head SOUTH, the driveway is on the left. If you pass the tower and tank on the right, you've gone too far!
Each meeting consists of a mix of technical and light-hearted topics, with
a refreshment break for meeting friends and new friends. Anyone with
an interest in ham radio is invited to join us.
Here is a tentative schedule of meeting topics.
This information changes often, so keep coming back to check!

RANV members get together and help organize club activities at the
"Steering Wheel" meeting. These meetings serve as a way for club enthusiasts
to get together informally and brainstorm ideas for new club activities.
The Steering Wheel is held on Tuesday night, 1 week after the membership
meeting. We meet at 6:30-8:30. Our current Steering Wheel meeting location is
the 99 Restaurant in Williston. However, always inquire about our location since
this changes from time to time.
Our newsletter, News
& Views, contains operating information, technical
articles and articles of personal interest to whet your appetite for
more amateur radio activity.
We always look for input for the newsletter. Submit information to editor
George KC1JGM
by the
end of the month.

RANV sponsors the WB1GQR repeater on 145.15 MHz. From its 3400 foot
elevation in Bolton, we get activity from most of Northern Vermont,
Northeastern New York and parts of New Hampshire. If you are traveling
throughout the North Country, check into the repeater. Not only do we cover Northern
Vermont, but we cover the world through the IRLP Internet Connection.
Details and Operational Status of the repeater.
Take a tour of the repeater site.

RANV sponsors HAM-CON, the North Country's largest Hamfest and Radio Convention,
Saturday, February 27, 2021.
HAM-CON is also the ARRL Vermont State Convention.
HAM-CON is hundreds of hams gathering for thousands of flea market goodies,
vendor sales, forums, demonstrations and all things Ham Radio!
Join us on the 4th Saturday of February!
RANV is very active in the annual Field Day exercises held each June.
Hams and non-hams can see the inner workings of a competitive amateur
radio operation and learn tips from the "pros". From our hilltop
location in Williston, we regularly place in the top ten
amongst 2-transmitter Field Day groups across the U.S. and Canada.
Results and pictures from the last Field Day.
Details on the next Field Day.
SUMMER PICNIC
We get together for a picnic every August.
Join us for hot dogs, hamburgers, dipoles,
DX, swimming, marshmallows and tall stories. Work the pileups
as we put our club station W1NVT on the air. And we have pictures to prove it!
If you are interested in ham radio and will be in
Northern Vermont, stop on by!
