Monday 4th July 2011

Another good turn out as we enter the holiday period.  This week there were four main activities happening apart from tea and coffee drinking :-)

We powered up the Yaesu FT101ZD and had it running for a couple of hours as a receiver. I was very impressed how well it worked on a limited antenna. We will get on the air with this lovely radio soon.

 













Steve (G1MPW) showed us a TenTec Corsair which he purchased recently. Another fine radio we had the chance to play with.


 














On arrival at the Scout hut we found that the G5RV antenna had fallen down.  Some of the guys spent a part of the evening reinstalling the G5RV antenna back to its original location.

To complete the list of activities a couple of the guys called in to the club net on two metres.
