A few years ago, the convention and all RSGB activity was so HF orientated us technolgists and microwavers were alienated. At long last everything has been equalised and the conventions merged, so t
Yes , a look round the station in the dark is recommended HI But , in saying that , 500 looks quite tame compared with 136 ! I think the concept of a small Ae on 500 was lost in the early day's , but
Everyone agrees with me sooner or later, it's just some are slower than others to admit it !! Maybe there ought to be two conventions, one for Radio Operators and one for Appliance Operators. G3KEV
Actually Andy, I've just had an exchange of emails with my mate Alan 3nyk (near neighbour) in which I have mooted the idea that maybe now is the time for a realignment of the Royal Surrey Gas Board.
Thanks for the compliment, Roger. It is, of course, only an observation and requires much thought - probably by those much more clever than I. I dropped out of membership a couple of years ago after
Probably not , but fringe activity's do provide a little Variety : e.g. A QRSS university some how may not have 'quite' the same appeal, but has the same aim ? G.. Is there any interest in a microwav
Hi Graham yes I know smallish aerials can be made to work with modern modes but you and Gary have worked quite hard at it.....and you do get a lot of RF floating around the house when you have it nea
Hi Jim, Point taken and I also have the licence change after WW2 noted. At various times since then the administration and regulation has passed through a number of government departments and agencie
Yes some fringe activity like a 'qso' would be beneficial to the image Unfortunately there seam's to of set in 'sub groups' , using what where where once qso modes for square chasing, something simil
G4GVW makes a very interesting observation. I too think there is a growing gap between radio "science" and radio "sport". I enjoy both but get more satisfaction from the former. 73s Roger G3XBM -- Vi
Here again it requires someone to run it. In the old days at the Beaumont there used to be an LF "workshop" John Gould was an enthusiastic chairman of the LF stream, but he has be clobbered with many
I did one at one Wyboston Convention but it was badly organised and the "stream chairman" didnt show up there were no facilities and I was lent a laptop for the PPP by Simon Brown, who was the next s
You pretend sometimes to disagree to provoke an argument, which is good, it winds others UP, then they settle down and Agree!! I forgot to mention the Appliance Operators sidekick, Beacon Bandslip Op
Dear Graham, Pat, LF Group, Having in the past done a few presentations on LF at RSGB conventions, I found that LF was definitely a sideshow compared to HF DXing matters, but none the less, there was

I think it's like all these things Graham......it depends what papers are offered. If no-one offers any lectures you dont get a stream. Alan RSGB Convention MF side looks a bit thin ?? Is there a rea
Is there any interest in a microwave round table style event on LF/MF? - Stewart/G3YSX Alan RSGB Convention MF side looks a bit thin ?? Is there a real HF/ MF/LF convention anywhere ?? Dave's 45 min
True but looks like the fast-food gang are slowly taking over !..An Inevitability of combining the HF and VHF shows I suppose.. Coupled to a lack of solar activity that depressed the HF band occupanc
