Monday 27th June


Another good turnout this Monday evening with lots happening to keep us all interested. Steve (G1MPW) showed us  a software defined radio receiver which gave us a chance to see one in action and play with it. You control it by computer and the sound card decodes the signal.

Alan 2E0VAV had been having trouble with a digital interface box he uses with a Kenwood TS570. After spending some time with Denis (M0NDJ) the fault was traced to a broken wire in one of the plugs.

Some of the guys reinstalled a 2metre/ 70cm antenna for use at the Scout hut.

We are planning to Power up the Yaesu FT-101ZD next Monday and get it on the air.

All in all a lot of fun on a Monday night.
