Practical time again
In the clubroom, come try out your frequency meter. Jack will bring his off air standard. Make sure you arrive in good time to let your meter stabilise as most take some time to warm up.
Meanwhile, outside - assuming the weather is good - it's practice time. In June there will be a 2 metre walking DF hunt around the village so some and make sure your kit works in the car park.
Oh, and as usual, get some practice in in the shack

Tue26Jun201820:00WARC
Ok - it's DF hunt time again
As per last time, we'll be hiding in Grappenhall. Come and find us. Two stations, same channel, 2 metres.
Lessons learnt from last time
- close in on foot the signals can be large - attenuators help. Will drop the power down more after 30 minutes
- we should probably pick a quieter frequency - will announce that at 8pm in 145.450 - we'll either be there or will announce a change in frequency

...M0XPD
Drawing on music, detective fiction, bellringing and electronics, Paul, m0xpd, will describe his recent fun and games with the new type of ‘Step Sequencer’ which he has been developing, based upon some 400 year old permutations. Sequencers are simple state machines, similar to the ‘keyers’ familiar in amateur radio, which produce repeated patterns. These devices are widely used in the production and performance of contemporary music. Ignoring the old advice about never working with children and animals, Paul will attempt to interrupt his talk with some noisy demonstrations
