RCA has 3 new directors elected last year whose terms will be in 2018 and 2019:  Michael Clarson, Ray Novak, and Elaine Walsh.   The RCA Officers and Board look forward to working with all of you this year!

And a heartfelt thanks goes to outgoing directors Mark Allen, Craig Jorgensen, and Charles Kirmuss!  The RCA Officers and Board thank you for your service and dedication to the Radio Club during your tenure as directors.

Thanks once again to Icom America, the RCA Technical Symposium held in Pittsburgh in late November was videoed.  The videos were live streamed for those that could not attend.  But now, as in previous years, we offer the videos available for viewing in an archive via You Tube on the RCA Channel.

Unfortunately we did encounter a few unexpected technical problems, and as a result the first presenter did not get videoed, and the second presentation only had audio toward the end of the presentation.  The remaining videos are fine.  A total of 7 presentations were video recorded.  You can find links to all of the slide decks in the Technical Symposium tab.  We apologize to the first two presenters for the technical difficulties we experienced.
