Next RADARC meeting is at Reading Rugby Football Club, Holme Park, Sonning Lane, RG4 6ST, Thursday 24th August, 7pm.
Given folk seemed to enjoy last meeting “Night on the Air”, we’ll do the same again. The reason it’s billed as “Drinks” is so we all get a chance to relax a bit but with a nod to health and safety, I think we can combine the two.
Feel free to bring along any portable gear to play/experiment with. There was loads of stuff last time. 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.
For fun, if you have any vintage/veteran gear you might want to
demonstrate to people (not necessarily radio) feel free to bring it.
Simon ZSU and I like Tilley lamps (i.e. paraffin storm lamps) and one
came out to play last time.
In fact – bring what you like. Even if you think it maybe of no interest
to others. You may be surprised.
Start 7pm but feel free to arrive earlier to help with setup or just
enjoy the evening. NOTE I’m going to start an hour earlier than the usual 8pm as it’s getting dark earlier. Don’t feel you have to be there for that time.
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.
We may also have Woodley air cadets joining us.
Should weather preclude outdoor operations we will meet anyway as the bar will be open.
A huge thankyou to people who brought stuff last time.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
