The Westport Astronomical Society Amateur Radio Club K1WAS installed a Meshcore repeater at the Westport Observatory this weekend. Conrad N2YCH, Dan N3DAW & Peter K1PCN have the node running atop the Observatory Tower, connecting Fairfield County to the rest of CT. Check out today's CT Post article for the full story!

If you can't tell, a lot of planet Earth is hoping to see an exceptional comet soon as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan/ATLAS becomes visible first in the morning skies and then our evening skies beginning the second week of October. Former WAS president Dan Wright spoke to the CT Post this weekend and we're hoping the New England clouds part soon so we can start seeing it too!
