CARC Shack Familiarisation Wed 23 Dec

A very Merry Christmas to all readers of the CARC blog. As part of the work being conducted in the CARC shack and up on the tower we thought it would be a good idea to keep members up to speed on the changes. Therefore we propose a hands on session in the shack this Wednesday evening.

To start things off we plan to have a introduction for new members or a revision for existing members on the operation of the HF station. We'll be looking at the basics including operation of the FT1000MP, the role of the computer for logging and SteppIR antenna control. We'll also have a segment looking at how to tune the amplifier.

As there are still a few changes that need to be made, this will be a good chance to take on board suggestions for the future.

In the first place we'll concentrate on the simple modes, SSB and CW. In future sessions we'll look at the wide range of data modes which the shack can operate, also the VHF and UHF side of the shack.

I look forward to seeing you all there from 7.30pm onwards.
