Association
By Lew Malchick, N2RQ School Club Roundup
School Club Roundup (SCR) is sponsored by the ARRL, its Hudson Division Education Task Force and and the Long Island Mobile Amateur Radio Club (LIMARC), to foster contacts with and among school radio clubs.
The SCR is a great way to get young operators on the air. Very often a new operator will be intimidated by the fear of not knowing what to say to the stranger on the other side of the radio. The exchange information helps to overcome this fear in a low pressure contest format. Operators are encouraged to take some time to chat beyond the contest exchange.
Award certificates will be issued for the following US and DX categories:
Schools: Elementary, Middle/Intermediate/Junior High School, High School and College/University.
In addition, non-school clubs and individials also compete for certificates.
February 13, 14, 15

Cluny Students to Become "Radio Active"
Calling "CQ"in National Amateur (Ham) Radio Contest
Students from St. Joseph of Cluny School, Newport will become "radio
active" next week as they call out to other students across the U.S. and
Canada as part of the 26th School Club Roundup. The event's goal is to
introduce students to the amateur (ham) radio hobby and to heighten
interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Members of
the Newport County Radio Club will be mentoring Grade 3 through Grade 8
students as they raise a long wire antenna, connect the cabling, test
out the transmitter, prepare the laptop computer and then begin to make
their radio calls.
While the contest encourages students to talk to as many states and
Canadian provinces as possible, the goal is to have fun and to meet
people, . Cluny will be on the airwaves Monday, February 13; Tuesday
,February 14; and Wednesday, February 15 from 330PM-5PM operating from
the science classroom. Local media are invited to come by Monday and
watch the activity. Organizers have already alerted 250 other schools
that Cluny will be on the air.
Amateur radio in the Newport dates back to the earliest days of radio
with the first Newport radio club pre-dating 1913. The current Newport
County Radio Club, Inc was founded in 1949, incorporated in 1955, and
was granted IRS 501(c)(3) status in 2004. During regional emergencies,
radio club members support their local communities and the Rhode Island
Chapter of the American Red Cross with dependable short and long range
voice and/or digital communications that can operate on battery power
for extended periods.
