Week 3 2012


This week’s bit of fun:



How to fail a breathalyzer

Monday Andy and Mick set up a Kenwood TS-2000e for us to have a play with. Most members present agree that this is the best all round rig for training and club use that our budget could stretch too. I will work with Derek to purchase one of these and a power supply this week. We should then have a station on Monday nights.

Wednesday Colin and I recorded another episode of the ICQPODCAST, this is episode 98.

My friend Chris lent me a DVAP Dstar Access point which I have been playing with most of the weekend. After the initial setup it worked well with my Icom ID-E880 and many contacts were had over the weekend.

Sunday Colin released the latest episode of the ICQPODCAST
