The club will be holding our annual field weekend on the 22nd and 23rd of August at Berkeley.
With lots of space available to us, we will be able to build and experiment with antennas that are too big to fit into our gardens.
We will be transmitting using the clubs callsign GX4ABC.
Brickworks and RSGB
Regional RSGB representative Andrew G7KNA visited the club to present
Brickworks certificates to Sam M7LGY, Rhianonn M7MUY and Neil G8NJL.
Well done to you all.
Neil specifically thanked Stan G0RYM for getting him interested in WAB.
Terry has submitted pictures and a few paragraphs RadCom magazine. Due to long lead times the October edition is the earliest we might see anything.
In addition to the presenting certificates, Andrew mentioned that within RSGB region 11, a number of districts have no representative, including the one for Bristol, South
Gloucestershire and Northeast Somerset. Any volunteers?
Due to the current weather conditions and Met Office Weather warnings for heat it has been decided to postpone the talk by John M0HFH on antennas. Instead the club will be open for an operating and social night.
At 20:00 local time we will be calling on the local repeater GB3WR using the club call GX4ABC, after that other frequencies may get used.
A change to tonights programme!
John (M0HFH) & Martyn (M9VMT) will be talking about antennas for field day and the club infrastructure.
Stan (G0RYM) has answers from questions and follow up to last weeks WAB Talk.
Neil (G8NJL) and Sam (M7LGY) talking about their SOTA activation.
Sam (M7LGY) is going to describe his experience building a Yagi.
Wed evening will include a brief overview of the Club’s history which Terry (M0TJX) is pulling together. The opportunity will be taken to put up a few old photos to see if it jogs any memories for the project!
The evening will include a Talk given by Martyn (M9VMT) covering tools used for the electronic method(s) of logging.
