Home brew radio fun – and a Guinness!
The murky gloom of a rain-drenched Midlands evening couldn’t dampen the spirits of Wythall Radio Club members…..
….as they gathered for our ‘show and tell’ evening of construction projects.
David G7IBO demonstrated his self-designed instrument for obtaining highly accurate resistance and voltage measurements (photo right).
On the radio front, we had various QRPLabs and Kanga projects, including the QDX and QMX multiband qrp transceivers and the Rooster xtal controlled 2-watt cw rig (and its predecessor, the Foxx 3 in a Cadbury’s tin).
Phil 2E0WTH brought along a simple direct conversion receiver.
The pint of Guinness shows the compact size of Martin M0XFI’s satellite-controlled clock, contrasting with David’s home-built and cased electronic Enigma machine.
There was also a balun, Kanga ATU, audio amplifier and Sotabeams keyer on display.
Ten members braved the weather and the demos and discussion went on late into the evening.
NEXT EVENT…… NEXT WEEK
Tuesday 11th November, 8pm – Construction for satellite activity with Neil G1TZC
ALL WELCOME
