Branch 50 (Wellington) NZART – Known as the Wellington Amateur Radio Club
Our ETz night on Wednesday 20 June 2018 brought a good attendance – there is something about food to bring out the numbers. A number of members brought along something to talk about, including an SWL diary from the early 50’s , a new touchscreen for a QRP rig, and a beefy transistor tester.
There were plenty of sausage rolls and cake to make us all feel replete!
Mike led off on the second Shed Workshop on Sunday 10 June 2018 from 1pm – 3pm.
The topic was “Kitset Transceivers”. Mike talked about his experiences in assembling and modifying BITx40s and a µBITx. He drew on resources from his website (http://uBITx.net) that attracts over 16,000 unique visitors each month and is the definitive guide to the µBITx for constructors.
Afternoon tea was provided.
The May meeting on Wednesday 16 May provided an opportunity to identify the real issues in amateur radio today, and then set about identifying solutions. Watch this space for the issues that members identified and some of the solutions to those problems.
