WADARC meets at – TS Vanguard, 9a Broadwater Road, Worthing. BN14 8AD
THE PAST WEEK
Due to road works and long traffic delays, a few members didn’t make it to last Tuesday’s Tea and Chat meeting and possibly some were on holiday, so there were only ten of us, but at least those present seemed to enjoy themselves. Hopefully, work in the Shack will re-commence next Tuesday.
Roger, G4TNT has produced a new (and interesting) edition of Ragchew – see below for details.
Ed, M0MNG has returned from his foray in the USA and no doubt there will be links to photos and videos soon – perhaps a short article?
Jonathan, G1EXG reports that he has worked IK7LMS in JN80XP square, via Sporadic E on 2 metres, which goes to prove that there is DX on the VHF and up bands, if you care to look for it!

FINALÉ
I’ve had a couple of reports that members have not received the full Weekly Bulletin. The header has been present and the end signature, but no text in between. Obviously if you have this issue, you won’t see this text, but if you are reading it OK and know of someone else who has problems with it, please let me know.
73,
Alan. G4GNX
