Folks an entertaining an
d very interesting talk from Graham G4DPH last week. Given that Graham and fellow Weston Club members have invited TSGARC to their next club ARDF event perhaps we could consider a club based RDF project or system which we might take on location with us!! Count me in (Peter 2E0UAR) and hopefully others now the weather has improved? Peter already has a number of antenna designs which we could develop from. I have to say the whole notion appeals to me as it brings together portable (which in effect I am currently), outdoors, (potentially dog walking although that was not mentioned) and radio. Could even add Geocaching if you like to that list. However I would not want to be the fox!!!
My thanks to Graham for his time and fascinating array of home made equipment together with numerous stories of eventing which kept us on the edge of our seats. TSGARC (well me at least) will now definitely be considering an ARDF section of its own.
A few useful websites I came across (but to be honest there are so many links);

Food for thought Folks!!

Nice post Mark. I think you meant to put commas instead of brackets around my name, otherwise it looks like you’re impersonating me! I’ve got plans with John M0HFH to create a circuit board for my TDOA direction finding antenna that members of the club etc. could build if they’re interested. Hopefully this will start up some more DF for the club. The talk was fantastic.
