Activity Night 1 of 4 - Barbury Castle 2016

05/08/2016 • General

A few of us met at Barbury Castle to play radio.

Mike planned a kite operation but there wasn’t enough wind. We got to play with Roy’s 7300 which is a very nice compact radio. Jonathan worked some SSB stations whilst Phil tickled Paul’s capacitive CW key and worked some CW QSOs. Matthew used his phone to send and receive some SSTV images on 20m. Even Frank came up for a visit.

The rest of us discussed various subjects including IOTA, Pokemon Go and the latest Rajar figures.

We didn’t run a register so I can’t list everyone who was there but it was well attended.
