Next meeting is at Reading Rugby Football Club, Holme Park, Sonning Lane, RG4 6ST, Thursday 10th August.
It’s “Night on the Air” so we will have a few stations set up – probably a couple of HF stations. Feel free to bring along any portable gear to
play/experiment with. Just be aware there may be 100W of RF kicking
about on HF which delicate equipment may not appreciate if connected to any nearby antenna.
Start 8pm but feel free to arrive earlier to help with setup or just enjoy the evening.
If you are new to the hobby this is a great opportunity to see amateur
radio in action and have a go at operating yourself.
With luck, we will also have a demo of an “Antenna test range”.
On the military kit side, with luck, we will also have a “Clansman”
dipole and 30-70MHz vertical antenna/dummy load atop. I suspect there will be some other “green” radios on parade.
Should weather preclude outdoor operations we will meet anyway as
the bar will be open.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
