We met for Christmas Dinner on 6 December 2017 at the Thai Country Café, 124 Main Road, Tawa, at 7pm. Some 16 members and XYLs attended. A good time was had, but some weren’t used to the more spicy tastes!
RemoteDX update at the November meeting
The November meeting, and “Remits Night” again. However, nobody had any ideas for a remit (thank goodness!).
Bernard ZL2BD ran a Powerpoint presentation of recent developments in the project, assisted by Mike ZL1AXG and Ted ZL2TB. Discussion extended to the associated amateur mesh project, with an outline of plans for a high-speed backbone connecting Mt Field, Colonial Knob, Mt Climie and Kaiwharara nodes (off-mesh) and associated peripheral links. There was also an outline of preferred site options for the remote station.
Return to the Valve Era
Our August meeting featured competing teams in the most fun event of the year, creating our one valve oscillator transmitters!
The winning team featured two ex-NZPO telephone exchange specialists. Maybe they had an unfair advantage?
July chin wag
Come along to our July 19 meeting! 7.30pm at the Lutheran Church Hall, King St, Mt Cook. More an opportunity for catching up with mates than formal business.
