A group of us assembled at 7pm at the National Radio Centre in Bletchley.

We spent the evening learning about the extensive range of well presented exhibits and hands-on equipment at the centre.

Dave, G4FKI used one of the radios which belonged to the late King Hussein of Jordan, JY1 and made a few contacts on 40m.

We also operated the QO-100 satellite station, looked at the benefits which FT8 has to offer and enjoyed hearing about the valuable work the team do at the centre, promoting amateur radio to thousands of visitors each year.

An excellent, well presented station – and remember that if you are an RSGB member, you can get free entry to the centre.

Many thanks to David G8UOD for organising and to the team at GB3RS for a very interesting visit.

Attendees: David, G8UOD, Owen G0PHY, Mary SWL, Don G4LOO, Victor M0VIC, Dave G4FKI, Paul G8IUG, Graham G4JBD
