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.
Microwave Activity Day – Sunday August 23rd
The next MAD is one of the uncommon events where the MAD and the “23 on 23” occur on the same day. This event is again being coordinated by Scott VK4CZ
The MAD will ‘focus” this time on the lower three microwave bands 1.2, 2.4 and 3.4GHz and will adopt coordinated time slots for each band, which worked well on previous events
a perfect chance to get some 23cms mileage from good locations. Watch this space and other social media outlets for more information and remember please to post your own intentions for planned bands and locations. Also to encourage a visitor/wingman to come with you. (or go out with someone else of course)

Two important components have been arranged for this meeting
Firstly, a proposal will be tabled to adopt some minor but necessary changes to the club constitution to bring us in line with current needs and requirements. All members will have received an e-mail explaining the reasons for this update and the proposed amendments. If you have not received this e-mail please contact the club secretary ASAP

Also that evening there will be a short presentation by Trevor VK4AFL who will be giving some preliminary results on his series of daily microwave skeds between Brisbane and Rockhampton on 23cms and 9cms – which have been conducted over several years.
