Latest News from the Radio Club.
AUGUST 2016. We are now pleased to have completed the addition of some antennas at the club site. A half size G5RV for HF and a vertical tri-bander for 6mtr, 2mtrs & 70cms are available and tested for use. The G5RV tunes on all expected bands via an antenna tuner. Easy hook up has been provided by the mounting of a connection box with SO239 sockets inside the hall so all that is needed is a patch lead to the radio or atu to be up and running. A few photographs (click here) have been uploaded to show the installation to date.
17th January 2017 First night back of the new year and we had the pleasure to welcome Dave Lee (G4UHJ) to our meeting. Thanks for the input regarding antenna possibilities at the club location Dave. It will be nice to explore further what we might do to enhance our operating parameters, so hope to see you soon.
During this evening Tony G1IZH set up his FT817nd (now with the addition of the LDG Z817 Auto ATU. Bands were quiet but at least it demonstrated that the ATU could tune the half-sized G5RV on 40 & 20mtr bands without a problem.
