Amateur radio to star in festival of science

The Norfolk Amateur Radio Club will be putting on a special show on amateur radio as part of the British Association for the Advancement of Sciences’ Festival of Science.

Over the weekend of 2 and 3 September, the club will be running an interactive display on the history and science of wireless communication at Norwich Cathedral. The display will cover everything from the early work of Marconi to the latest wireless devices.

Throughout the weekend, NARC will also be on the air demonstrating the different ways in which radio amateurs communicate.

Visitors to the club’s stand will even be given the chance to build and test their own postcard radio.

Further details about the Festival of Science can be found on the web at www.the-ba.net/festivalofscience.
