Christmas Foxhunt Cancelled
The annual Wythall Radio Club Radio Foxhunt is cancelled today, due to the snow that has fallen overnight in our area.
Our apologies for this. We hope to rearrange for it to take place early next year.

Meet Wythall Radio Club Member Harry Bacon.
At the tender age of 8, Harry is currently the youngest member we have. Along with his dad, he recently passed his Foundation Exam and is now the proud holder of the shiny new callsign M6NKW.
A few days ago, Harry was congratulated by our friends (and Wythall Hamfest sponsors) from Radioworld.
On a trip up to their shop near Cannock, a very excited young man was presented with a new dual-band Handheld transceiver. (Click the photo for a larger picture).
Now Harry is looking forward to getting on the air and getting more experience before tackling the Intermediate License.
He is already learning Morse Code at our club Morse class and learning it very quickly, so we hear. We at Wythall Radio Club wish him all the best.
Listen out for Harry in our Club Christmas Contest from 26th December – you might even have a contact with him via our repeater GB3WL.
