(*) New VHF Improvement
A
new
transceiver has been purchased for the VHF shack, a Kenwood TS-970E. ( 2m/70cm
Multimode )
This
rig is to replace the Icom IC-821 which was found to be very deaf !!!
( This fact has been registered by many amateurs on the internet.
Pity we were not aware of this when we originally bought the rig. )
This purchase will
help improve the clubs VHF operation. As we are already
known to be a big 2m signal in the Isle of Wight ( And the continent during
propagation lifts. )
Our problem was we couldn't
hear them ! but now we can !!!!
