On Tuesday the 5th Dec we had a really interesting presentation by Kevin M0AHN. It certainly seems as though packet radio is going through a transition and a resurgence; you could say “A new Beginning”

We learned how Kevin was at the forefront of research in to new ways of sending data over the Ham Frequencies and even looking at Surfing the Internet and sharing video over NPR “New Packet Radio”.

Kevin is also working hard behind the scenes with Chris G1YGY to get the old GB7NW packet nodes back on air after many years of dormant activity at a remote location near Swindon.

And so without any further delay, here are the pictures courtesy of Andy 2E1GQX.

A big thanks to Kevin and to all those who attended. We look forward to next month’s talk which we hope to have news of very soon. Stay tuned !!

And so the Winter Rally has now been and gone. We were blessed with beautiful sunshine and a very frosty start. Some traders had already arrived around 6am and many had travelled long distances to be with us. We really appreciate that !

And so we have a few images from yesterday’s event. Apologies one or two are a bit grainy but we will publish them nevertheless.

Well that’s about it folks, another Rally been and gone. We wish you all the very best and we hope to see you again at our Summer Rally in July 2024.

Not long to go now and we’re looking forward to greeting you all on Saturday. The weather forecast is looking good but please note parking on the playing field is subject to a ground inspection on Friday and Rally parking on the hard standing will be for traders only. Alternate parking options are available in the village and our team will signpost drivers where best to go if this is the case.
