I attended my first Hamcation this year in Orlando Fl.  It was great to escape the New England winter and meet up with others doing the same.  I enjoyed the large number of vendors, the expansive flea market, and some of the forums.  Here are some pictures from Hamcation 2026 (click on each thumbnail for each full size picture).

The Nashoba Valley Amateur Radio Club’s February meeting is Thursday, February 19th, at 7:30 PM at the Pepperell Community Center (4 Hollis Street, Pepperell). We start gathering at 7 PM to socialize before the meeting starts.

Our February speaker, Jim Wilber AB1WQ, will present an overview of his experiences in the world of home 3D printing and some specific applications to Amateur Radio.

An NVARC member since 2014, Jim acquired a 3D printer in late 2024 and since then has been turning out a steady stream of toys for his pre-teen daughter (and truth be told, himself), as well as utilitarian and decorative objects, and a number of items useful in Amateur Radio. At Thursday’s meeting, Jim will talk about 3D printing in general and show off some 3D printed items hams might find useful.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks, and 73. Please feel free to contact Bruce, K1BG, at 978-772-2773 or bruce.blain@charter.net if you have any questions.

Jim AB1WQ will discuss 3-D printing and the huge variety of items that can be made, both fun and functional!

The Nashoba Valley Amateur Radio Club’s January meeting is Thursday, January 15th, at 7:30 PM at the Pepperell Community Center (in Pepperell). We start gathering at 7 PM to socialize before the meeting starts.

January is traditionally “Short Subjects Night”. Club members and guests are offered the opportunity to stand up and talk for 15 to 20 minutes about any subject you think club members would find interesting. Feel free to just come and listen, but please come and share your knowledge regarding a subject that you would like to share with others.

I look forward to seeing you there.
