This Wednesday is the monthly pub meet by which time the weather should be a little cooler.
Also for your diary:
This week from Wednesday to Friday the renovated 1960s BBC outside broadcast truck MCR21 will be on show at the Broadcasting House piazza. https://www.bbc.com/historyofthebbc/research/mcr21/ I’m planning to go on Wednesday before the HARS meeting.
On Sunday 24th July (subject to confirmation) West London Hackspace (not London Hackspace) has a talk on monitoring river water quality by a member who’s been developing a solution for distributed monitoring of water quality in a nearby river, a project in which the problem of actually measuring the water quality turned out to be the simple part, dwarfed by the issues of communications, power management and security. It’s a short informal talk with plenty of time for Q+A, discussion and, of course, beer. At The Forester pub, Northfields/West Ealing, from 6pm.
On Saturday 6th August from 14:00-16:00 the London Hackspace Radio Club holds it’s monthly meeting in the shack, mainly with the intention of showing off the shack and fielding questions about amateur radio. The shack has an FT-450D for HF and an FT-857D for 2/70 with an H422 vee and V2000 aerials on the roof of the five-storey building high up in Wembley in the shadow of the arches. Members have 24×7 access to use the shack which runs digital modes when not otherwise in use. Opportunities to visit are rapidly diminishing as the lease comes to and end in December and as present a new home has yet to be found so the last meeting will be the first Saturday of November and at that point we’ll be focussed on stripping out and most likely putting the equipment into storage.
