A recent addition to the Club's equipment is a trailer mounted telescopic mast. We tried this with the 3 ele HF beam and were pleased with the results compared with the long wire, reports of 3 S points and 20db improvement were noted. This will give us good results going portable.

An event at Carisbrooke Priory Please go to www.qsl.net/g3sky for these pages.

Amateur exams/foundation licence

A new course started early September it has now finished, all passed, congratulations!

Thanks to the efforts of Alan G3PZB and Steve M5PDL 24++ members have passed the foundation course exam/morse assessment.

The course takes a minimum of 12 hours, split into sessions of 2 hours per week. We will get round to everybody eventually.

This new licence will enable anyone to use the amateur bands with a power of 10 watts. Most modern sets are able to be turned down to this level. Some older rigs are not suitable, contact us for advice. See June 2002 Radcom for details of a suitable attenuator for these rigs

We can offer "morse assessments" for the foundation licence. Contact us for details of this and any other developments, things are proceeding now. 5 WPM morse tests are available via G3LWI.
