Are You Doing This In Your Ham Radio Club?

Are You Doing This In Your Ham Radio Club?

How do we "promote" amateur radio to others? Let’s face it, we have all seen those images of Amateur Radio and it is these myths that we need to actively work to dispel!

Justin VK7TW has only been licenced for 36 years and has been involved in the ICT industry mainly in Government for over 40 years. Justin has been and is currently the President for our local club who is hosting this Conference, on and off in various other roles for about 22 years and is a life member of REAST. He spent two years as President of the WIA in 2017/18 and is still involved at a range of levels and committees. Justin’s interests in amateur radio are broad from 630m to 10GHz, optical, education and promotion of this great hobby.

This presentation was recorded at the Tassie Ham Conference 2022 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSuX83ay4OujogylrO6FQRw6c2vM5JeFa

Simple Rules of Coax Fed Antennas

Simple Rules of Coax Fed Antennas


Years ago, I attended a presentation that Nigel (SK) G4NRR gave. He explained that dipoles resonate on every other harmonic and full wave loops were resonant on every harmonic. These extremely basic rules are the fundamental build blocks of almost every antenna I build. See what you think. Callum, M0MCX.
