The RADARC Construction Contest 2022 was great success with so many brilliant entries it was almost impossible to choose a winner.

Joint second prize winners where Chris G0JTN with his SINAD meter and Denis G4KWT with his 70cms repeater for RayNet.

First prize went to Mike G8GYW for his HF QRP Power and SWR meter.

All the other entries where of a very high standard, a frankly all deserved a prize – thank you to Loz G2DD for organising it and to all those who entered and came along, it was a very enjoyable evening.

As the weather is looking OK this morning, the RADARC junk sale will be going ahead – see club gmail email for details.
