WADARC meets at – TS Vanguard, 9a Broadwater Road, Worthing. BN14 8AD.
THE PAST WEEK
Last Tuesday was a practical evening and I’d like to thank Chris, M0VUE for providing the components and some good radio entertainment. Two teams built various traps etc., but I’ve no idea if there was an actual winner. Despite an initial reluctance, most members eventually joined in and lots of soldering and testing kept them busy until well after 9.00pm.
We’ve disposed of quite a lot of shack equipment on behalf of G8RDK’s estate, since last week. Listed below is the unsold remainder which will be held until next Tuesday and if not sold to members, will be offered to the general Amateur public. If you’re interested please let me know:
- Daiwa CN-801 SWR & Power Meter
- Icom IC-756PRO (usual screen fault, but does light fully after a short ‘warm-up’)
- Icom IC-910H – 144Mhz/432MHz
- Manson EP925 PSU – 13.8V 25A SMMFJ 834H RF Ammeter
- Mirage MP2 VHF Watt meter
