The club will be holding our annual field weekend on the 22nd and 23rd of August at Berkeley.
With lots of space available to us, we will be able to build and experiment with antennas that are too big to fit into our gardens.
We will be transmitting using the clubs callsign GX4ABC.
Brickworks and RSGB
Our South West regional RSGB representative visited the club to present
Brickworks certificates to three of our members.
Well done to you all.
Pictures and a few paragraphs have been submitted to the RadCom magazine.
Due to the current weather conditions and Met Office Weather warnings for heat it has been decided to postpone the talk by John M0HFH on antennas. Instead the club will be open for an operating and social night.
