A good turnout this Monday night with a few club members we don’t normally see.

We had a potential new amateur turn up to find out more about our hobby before taking a foundation course in the autumn.  John asked lots of questions before being shown a MKARS80 and a Kenwood TS-2000 in operation. We showed him both HF and VHF and he was happy with what he was shown.

Chris informed us that the International Space Station was due to pass over head at about 21:00 local so we all went out to the car park. After a few minutes and right on time as predicted the ISS came into sight. It passed right over head and was visible for about 5 minutes.

Some more discussion on voice keyers and other topics were had plus lots of tea and coffee.

This Monday turned into a natter night with some discussion on Voice Keyers. We looked at a homebrew unit that I don’t think would be much use to us. We also spent some time looking at an old MFJ-432 Voice Keyer which if it works should help on field day.

Other topics were discussed and stories told. All in all, another good night.

The Scout hall was closed last week so no Monday night meeting.

This Monday we are back as normal and all are welcome.  Chris wanted to look at a new group project. This is could be CQ keyer. I will bring a couple examples, one a MFJ unit and the other a home built bit of fun.

See you Monday, the tea and coffee will be flowing and there are plenty biscuits in the tin.

This Monday turned into a general natter night with various groups each discussing a number of topics.

That’s the fun of these Monday Nights, we don’t plan them and if we just want a natter night that’s OK as well.

The Scout Hall will be closed on Monday 4^th of June 2012 due to the bank holiday. We will be back to normal on Monday the 11^th of June 2012.
