Last Monday we had a good turnout after our Christmas and New Year break. The evening turned into a discussion evening with various groups tackling various subjects.

We had two new students who were starting their foundation course with their exam to follow in a few weeks.

After our break

After our Christmas and New Year break we are back at the Scout Hall in Banstead. I’m looking forward to this Monday, to catch up on what’s been happening over the break.

There will be some training happening for new students along with our normal activities.

All are welcome, see you Monday

Our last meeting at the Banstead Scout hall before Christmas and the New Year. We had a good turn out and a lot of operating with two stations on the air.

Steve showed us his completed digital SWR meter kit which got used on one of the station. I should have got a picture of it in the case.

Lots of tea and coffee as always along with various discussions on radio topics.

We are closed until the 7^th of January 2013 but I’m sure you will find some of us on air over this period.

I would like to wish all our members and readers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

A good turn out on this Monday. Denis did a talk on antennas along with some indoor demonstrations. 

The evening was completed by discussions on various radio topics.

This coming Monday is our last meeting before the New Year.

I took my Wave meter to show John and Alex. This was to show them one way of testing for harmonics.

Alex has been doing some work with PIC controllers and running multiple displays on one PIC. This looks fun and I am sure Alex is learning a lot doing this.

Chris brought his collection of Hand helds so that John could see the different models available on ebay from China.

Some operating took place in the back room on the Kenwood TS2000

A good number of radio discussions took place on various topics.

At 22:30 we all went outside to watch the ISS pass over, unfortunately it was not a visible pass so we didn't see it.

On our way home Chris, Martin, Alex and I operated through GB3NS.
