You are invited to learn more, get started, or get advice at one of the informal monthly sessions scheduled at the Middletown Public Library, the second Tuesday of each month 6PM-730PM, starting October 8th.  We’ll help you navigate the FCC’s licensing process, explain radio options, and help you get the most out of your license and radio. 

On Aquidneck Island, severe weather can cause prolonged power and internet outages, leaving families without a lifeline to emergency services and loved ones.
