1 May 2025 – Club natter night and Morse Practice evening

A group gathered to hone their Morse code receiving skills with Richard G3NII and Ken G4YRF operating the keys.

We also had a demo from Victor G3JNB, allowing us to hear his amazing little all-band all-mode receiver in action. We strung up a simple wire antenna and signals from all over Europe were heard coming in loud and clear on 20m CW and 40m CW. The receiver also performed impressively on Band II, the FM broadcast band, with Classic FM crisp and clear.

We later had a small huddle, discussing plans for our forthcoming outdoor demo station at the Shefford Summer Fete, on 1st June 2025.

Ken then showed us a fine AI-generated poster on the notice board, which he and his son had prepared, to publicise our club to other users of the hall.
