Practical evening at the rugby club
Much fun was had with AM QSOs between an ex army Clansman manpack and and WW2 Wireless set 18 man pack on 40 metres. Note the QSL card! Also, work on ATV equipment and 23cm linear by members using club test equipment.

“ACE HIGH” Tropo Scatter system
While researching for club talks, I ran across the following link regarding the tropo scatter system used in the 1970s/1980s with eye watering ERPs. A few members will know about this system, however many new to the club may not:

Like Graham, G3XYX I have visited the Stenigot site in Lincolnshire wolds (in itself an incredibly beautiful place) – sadly only one dish remains now. Possible club talk if anyone knows a speaker…?
Club antenna at the RRFC
Thanks to kind assistance from John G4RDC, Graham M7GRA and Mike M0DYD on Saturday we now have a Diamond V2000 (2m, 70cms and 6m) on the Rugby Club building which we can use at practical evenings. Thanks to the Rugby club as well for kindly allowing this.
RADARC 85th Year Celbrations – June 15th 2019
Dear Members,
RADARC is pleased to announce that we are holding an 85th year celebration at the Royal Oak, Knowl Hill RG10 9YE on Saturday 15th June 2019 We will be setting up a small station/display in the field at the back from 11:30am, and from that point onwards you are very welcome to join in informally, have a pint etc.
At 18:00 there will be a barbeque @ £5 per head. If you wish to just come along just for this that is of course fine.
The Royal Oak is a nice traditional pub in a beautiful location, so it should be fun. Lets hope the weather is kind as well.
If you are intending to join us for the barbecue, please let me know so that I can give the Royal Oak an idea of numbers.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Thanks and 73 Simon M0ZSU, RADARC
