Second meeting of the year: 7 Feb 8pm at our new Venue. (See Diary Page).

January Meeting.

New Year, new venue. Revisions to the Constitution approved so now right to up date. Followed by a presention on the traditional January non-radio subject, this year, Solar Observations from a do-it-yourself pin hole camera, to getting up close online. Reference made to the Solar exhibition in Greenwich (photo) and the Moon is coming to Basilon.

 

We were there!

Boxing Day is a bit of a tradition for TARG for an informal meeting down at Two Tree Island next to the River Thames. The salt water and electronically quiet environment make it ideal to extend HF contacts. Several European contacts were made on just 5W from the car boot in the car park. This is what Amateur Radio is all about – putting it into practice.
