More Attractions at Wythall Hamfest 2016

February 21, 2016 By: Chris G7DDN Category: Club, Hamfest, News

More news about Wythall Hamfest this year!

The latest is that we have a Radio Society of Great Britain stall in attendance; local reps will be answering your queries and they will also have a fully-stocked bookstall, something always appreciated by “hamfesters”.

Kite flying at the 2015 Hamfest

Following the success of last year’s event, we are also putting on some short talks.

Roger Stafford G4ROJ will be on the park field behind the halls flying kite antennas from early on and he will also be giving a short presentation later in the day; one of the top UK contesters Lee Volante G0MTN will be showing you how to build a really effective HF station – maybe worth a visit before you buy your new HF rig from Martin Lynch? And local Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) guru Noel G8NDT will be on hand with a DMR Q & A session where you can ask anything you wish and hopefully get an answer.

So Wythall Hamfest is well-named this year – not just stalls and traders, but talks and demos too – a real “fest” for Hams!

Make sure you are there – the best radio day out in the Midlands takes place on Sunday 20th March at 10:00 at Wythall House, Silver Street B47 6LZ

What is Amateur Radio

Amateur Radio is a world-wide technical hobby which allows people of all nationalities, religions, age groups and abilities to communicate with each other and have a lot of fun at the same time. It has a strong volunteer public service content. Go to Header Menu and read more under Amateur Radio
Training
Reluctantly, Wythall Radio Club has had to close its classroom and online training programmes after nearly 20 very successful years. There are many reasons for this and these are explained elsewhere on the website. Chris G0EYO still continues to act as Training Co-ordinator for the Club. If anyone wants advice on where to go, then please contact him via e mail g0eyo@blueyonder.co.uk. Go to Header Menu and read more under Training
Contesting

Wythall Contest Group is an informal group of Wythall Radio Club members - they organise participation in (and training for) monthly and annual contests including in-house, portable (using club equipment) and Field-Day style operations. Wythall Amateur Radio Club is affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain.
