The Thornbury and South Gloucestershire Amateur Radio<\/del> Kite Club had its inaugural meeting today at Whale Wharf where a number of kites were trialled. The testing was inspired by a recent talk from Roger G4ROJ. We also had a go at aerial bombardment (video on application).<\/p>\n

A number of members brought their own kites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Part of the testing was to establish the lifting capabilities of the kites. Rex’s kite was connected to a 5 litre can of water. After emptying a couple of litres out the kite was able to lift it easily.\u00a0 A second test was carried out with a length of 2.5mm2<\/sup> wire to form a vertical. It was found that the vertical obviously needs to terminate under the kite.<\/p>\n
