WADARC meets at – Lions Hall, 21 Roberts Road, Lancing. BN15 8AR.
THE PAST WEEK
Last Wednesday’s meeting at Lions Hall was well attended, with much discussion taking place, right up till almost 10.00pm. Jonathan, G1EXG demonstrated his ‘bat detector’ and Phil, G4UDU brought along his 23cm transverter. 25W into an antenna with a little gain makes a good device to keep your coffee warm!
The final leg of the Foxhunt takes place this coming Wednesday. Please try to support Roger, G7VBR – the Fox. Details and rules on the WADARC website.
