K2VN Club Information:


  The Nassau Amateur Radio Club (NARC) is a special service club of the ARRL specializing 
  in Ham Radio education for the purpose of training qualified radio operators in times
  of communications need, promote international good will, and further the radio art.


  We are located in Nassau County on Long Island, and the club has League affiliation with the New York City-Long Island Section  
  of the ARRL Hudson Division


  Small group meetings and gatherings are held every Monday evening (except holidays) at Eisenhower Park,
  these  could be informal, or feature technical discussions in a Classroom
  environment, for the purpose of Ham Radio education at all levels from entry through
  Extra, and furnish the foundations necessary for successful license upgrade, as well as 
  group forums to discuss general technical topics of interest to Ham radio operators.


  In addition, a general membership  meeting is held on the last Monday
  of every month (except holidays), for conducting club business and planning.
  Our club house is located in the Lannin House, near Parking Fields 6, and 6A, in Eisenhower Park.
