School Club Roundup Fall 2025 at the Gene Burton College and Career Academy
High School students at RISDs Gene Burton College & Career Academy (GBCCA) competed in the ARRL Fall School Club Roundup (SCR). This is the second time the GBCCA school club has participated in the SCR, this time operating under the school's club call sign KR5ISD. In their first SCR outing back in the spring they operated for 2 days of the 5 day event and racked up 4k+ points to finished 6th in their class. This time they operated for 3 days and were able to more than double their previous score after 2 days of operation and finished after 3 days with a preliminary score over 14k.
The GBCCA teachers, club members, and the RARC club sponsors want to thank the RARC club members who took time to make hf, vhf, and uhf QSOs with the students and help make this event a success.
And that's not all. At the end of the 3 days the students took license exams and two earn their technician class licenses.Â
