Well the club BBQ went really well, Good weather and none of the forecasted rain.
With plenty of burgers and sausages to go round everyone had their fill and with only four sausages left the food couldent have been that bad.
Thanks to all the members that turned up.
If anyone is ill, claims should be made personally to the club secretary who will then pay all claims out of his own pocket...

CLUB CHAT...
It has been suggested that the members have an informal chat on a Wednesday evening..
Staring at around 19.00 local.
Due to the locale of some of our members 145.600 the WR repeater seemed a likely place to rendezvous.
Anyone around at this time is more than welcome to have a chat.
PLEASE REMEMBER the repeater is primarily for mobile comms so therefore priority should always be given.
SEE YOU THERE ......

We now have our antennae working for 2 metres and all the HF bands.
The rigs and tuner are now in the locked shack so we now have a fully functioning radio room away from the main seating area.
Please make use of it.
Our station manager Peter will be there to assist with the tuning so please let him know if you are going to use the station.
Our first two contacts on the new equipment today were in to Russia at around 14.30 local time..
PLEASE ENJOY THE NEW SHACK....
