Whitton Amateur Radio Group

In preparation for CQWW SSB we would ask anyone who plans on operating with us in the contest to make use of following links.
SM3CER rules & calendar

Contesting.com

N1MM Software (This is the software we will use in Contest at Club)

CQ World Wide DX Contest ( CQWW SSB )

We would ask where possible for operators to take part in other HF contests between now and CQWW SSB either by joining in or SWLing calls and exchanges.

When working the contest why not see how many you could work in half hour/hour, then try to better the next half hour/hour. Also try working some weaker stations to see if you can work/copy the call.

In the contest you can use All bands, 1.8 through 28 MHz (except for WARC bands 30M (10.1–10.15 MHz), 17M (18.068–18.168 MHz) and 12M (24.89–24.99 MHz)).

A big thanks to Michael White G3WOE for organising the excellant talk on Friday 08th September 2006 by Jeffrey Pawlon WA6KBL.

The talk was all about WinRAD software, how it came about, how it works and some info on where WinRAD will be going in the future.

Photos to come shortly (hopefully (if you have any send to 2E0TZO)).

Over the years the younger members of the Club have heard about ‘steam radio’ and decided to have a go at generating there own steam to run a home made crystal set. And to our surprise it worked! Look out Yaesu some budding radio designers are looking for a job!

Another friday night down the club was enjoyed by various members tonight including 3 projects being Soldered togther at different tables.
