New programme of activities

October 10, 2025 By: Chris G3YHF Category: Club, Fun, News

STOP PRESS: Just published – Wythall Radio Club programme for the next 15 months.

Available on our Home Page (see photo) – or click here

There’s lots of fun radio-related activity, including:

Raspberry Pi for amateurs – workshop sessions run by Ian M0LQY will cover the basics right through to using your Pi with your transceiver.
We’ll be looking at Club members’ home construction – from basic crystal controlled CW transceivers through to the latest QRPLabs kits, with David G7IBO, Chris G3YHF and other members.
Neil G1TZC will be giving the inside story on a transverter for operating through the QO-100 satellite

The old favourites will be there: a ‘brains trust’ Q and A (where the members are the experts!), foxhunt in Wythall Park, and Xmas and Easter contests.

PLUS – our 3 field-day events at Transport Museum Wythall, Plug and Play in Wythall Park, and Stoke Prior Steam Fair.

We’re also running a communication evening for our local Scout Group – and also for the Beavers and Cubs.

Our programme will be updated as we organise further activities. Check at Club Activities on right hand of our web site home page.

We have put together a long list of URLs you can access, under our TRAINING & BEYOND header menu, covering:

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.
