The Second Radio Club evening was a great success.
The Second Radio Club evening was a great success.
We tested and listened to radio signals in and around Harker's trying to find a suitable location for our radio shack. And got an insight into morse code transmission. We also learnt that some communicators are very competitive to make contact, and have little patience with morse code beginners!
Marko then gave a fascinating talk about the popularity of community radio station in Slovenia, with specialist interest groups for all aspects of the community. However suggested that we may be the first Amateur Radio Group for Artists.
He talked about setting up the first Radio Station in Antarctica I-TASC the protocol of talking on a community radio station in Northern Canada (just get on and talk!), creating the Makrolabs and hosting simultaneous visits by both the Italian military to set off weather balloons and Italian anarchists as programmers, as well as how to make contacts with the Russian Space programme (make friends with the Cosmonauts over ham radio whilst they are bored in space!).
We were reminded that one of the first radio transmissions was made on Newcastle's Town Moor and were excited by the idea of Amateur TV transmissions.
Thankyou to everyone who made the evening.
