Frank’s ham radio career began as twelve year old at the Providence Radio Assn's

1959 ARRL Field Day, W1OP/1, on a hill top two miles from his home in

Providence, Rhode Island. Soon afterwards he began to slowly build his own

small station on 1/10th acre in a densely populated urban neighborhood

W3LPL multi-operator multi-transmitter teams have completed more than

one million DX QSOs and achieved more than 50 first place USA finishes out of

of radio clubs. He retired 11 years ago as a Chief Engineer at General Dynamics

Corporation after a 45 year career in defense electronics and systems engineering.

Talk about business, bylaws, club organizing, the appointment of officers, LLC setup, and officers' monthly meetings on Zoom.
This is a very important meeting and we need to reorganize the club and start building membership.
I brought this club back to life in 2005, and in its days in the 1980s -1990, it too was very active.
From 2005 to today we too have had a very active club. Now we need to make changes so please, attend this meeting, and let's give that ball a hard kick to get things happening again.
