This week’s meeting will be the first for the club’s new year.
We have plans for a number of presentations for the evening

Peter VK4EA, our new Vice President, who is also both a director and Vice President of the WIA will be outlining some new proposals from our institute and addressing other important issues for the wider hobby

I will report an update on the Groups forthcoming QTech2025 conference to be held in November and announce news of more VHF-UWave records awarded to group members.

Finally, at the suggestion of Doug VK4OE, we intend to screen a video on the “back-room” technology involved in the succesful recovery of the APOLLO 13 astronauts. It is now 55 years since that mission was aborted en route to the moon after a mid flight explosion crippled the spacecraft.

A formal invitation will be circulated before the meeting

Doug VK4OE will be outlining his “Journey of experimentation and development” with Stefan VK4CSD with their 134GHz systems. Their work has extended their distance record now to 12Km.

VK4EA nice retreat

M A D (Microwave Activity Days) were mainly to allow new and old members to test current or new gear between VHF/UHF Field days. It has been well represented with many operators taken full weekends in far off places, including a few distance records being either nudged or increased.
