Month: January 2022

A relatively quiet but enjoyable meeting mostly discussing antennas in many forms.

A good topic for the next online meeting two Fridays from now would be APRS which as I learned recently is a much broader field than I first thought so while I could do an introduction it would help if someone either takes over halfway or continues at a later meeting? Volunteers?

And talking of volunteers, do we have a volunteer for ‘communications’ – filing club info and meeting notices with Radcom, Radio User, Practical Wireless, etc?

Usual plan and maybe discuss an alternative night online meeting.

All sorts of stuff was discussed but mainly revolved around positioning modes such as APRS and Gregor gave an impromptu presentation on meteo balloon tracking, including dissecting a recovered tracker. We’ll almost certainly revisit this subject.

Next meeting is the Pear Tree pub meet on Wednesday 26th but as it seems that since a bit more normality has returned some people have other events on Fridays so we’re thinking of having an extra online meeting on a midweek night for a couple of months and seeing how it goes. Discussion over in the Google Group at https://groups.google.com/g/hars-friends

Our first meeting of the new year will be this Friday, online using Jitsi and as usual a link will be posted nearer the time.

If you have any ideas for topics that either you’d be prepared to talk about for as little as ten minutes or you think someone else has done and you’d like to hear them speak about.
