Events

To all you creative people out there. It's time to think about impressing the membership with your skills and ingenuity!

As usual, entrants will give a short (5 minutes or so) presentation on their entry.

There are two cups to be won, as voted by the whole membership in attendance. Software, hardware, old technology, new technology: all is valid and gets its chance on account of cleverness, quality of construction, complexity or simple brilliance - they all count toward the popular vote for the winner and runner up cups, to be presented on the night.

To round off the RADARC year, we welcome back our very own Mike Dunstan G8GYW for a talk entitled "A practical guide to GNSS receivers".

We welcome back Michael Walker VA3MW of FlexRadio Systems for a presentation on their latest developments and products.

We welcome back Neil G3SVN, in person, from Maidenhead and District Amateur Radio Society in a follow up talk to his introduction to Smith Charts. This time he will look at a piece of test equipment which until fairly recently was out of the reach of most amateurs: Vector Network Analysers (VNAs).

Our very own Ace G0ACE will kindly host our annual photography contest. "The emphasis is on a light-hearted approach, more about the idea and spirit than technical expertise. No need to fork out for a Hassleblad; your mobile phone camera or point and shoot will be just fine."

Meeting TBA

An informal evening to wander through the streets of maker-land seeing what everyone's been lovingly building and crafting over the winter!
 
Ideas are what we're after! 

Ideally, please let me know if you have something to show just so I can put together an updated meeting invite/running order. Doesn't matter what it is, provided we can get it into the room and is reasonably safe. Doesn't have to be a physical thing. Ideas and enthusiasm for a subject are nice and easy to carry!

Possible topics:

* Antennas (photos, sketches if that's easier)
* Experiments and experimental projects - not necessarily complete - or even started!
* Projects you may need some help with
* Cautionary tales
* Operating tips
* Software, Firmware, Anyware
* A short talk on your pet subject
