Amateur Radio Foundation Course and WINGS Museum

Chris Howard (M0TCH) and I are halfway through teaching an Amateur Radio Foundation Course. It’s a shame we only have one student due to others not being able to make the course at the last moment. However, our student is very interested in the hobby and thankfully asking lots of questions.

Edmund (M0MNG) sent me a link to this video he came across. It was recorded at the WINGS Museum in Sussex and shows the radios on display. While it was being recorded, I was in QSO with the Museum on 4 metres FM and can be heard in the background.

My First YouTube Video

Colin M6BOY has just released my first YouTube video.  I learnt a lot producing this one and am sure others will be better.

RSGB Trainers Update

Last Sunday (17/03/2019) Chris Howard M0TCH and I attended a trainers update course ran by the RSGB. The days training was held at the Dury Inn at West Midlands Airport. The picture shows Alan Betts explaining a topic.
