A well attended and enjoyable meeting and the first (and hopefully not the last) for Bruce who pointed out some issues with the website and meeting scheduling. The events are okay and on the right date but it seems that we lost the meeting notices and reports in December. There was a WordPress and PHP upgrade on the website around that time but I can’t really explain it. Now my workload is easing up I’m in the process of setting up some new email addresses for info, training, committee etc. A volunteer to manage social media and things like RadCom diary would be welcome.
To clarify the meeting dates, we meet on the second Friday of the month and then the Wednesday twelve days later rather than a particular Wednesday of the month. Because of the way days move around as the first of the month changes this is the best way to prevent having meetings in consecutive weeks and three week gaps. Although we could change that and when there’s a three week gap squeeze in an extra meeting?
Either way the Events page on here is the one true source of meeting info.
Next online meeting will be Friday 10th February and it’s likely that David will be leading a discussion of FT8 and other data modes, taking the excellent talk he did two(?) years ago to the next stage.
And don’t forget the Discord server for ongoing chatter during the month – email for an invitation link if you don’t have it.
