Rishworth Buildathon

Following the success of last year, the G QRP Club Convention at Rishworth on October 23 is to have another Buildathon which is open to all.

A Buildathon is where novice constructors build a project under the guidance of experienced radio constructors.

The details are:

Project: A Manhattan style CW Transmitter for 40 metres

This could be a companion to the receiver of last year or a useful little transmitter in its own right.

Booking your place:

20 places maximum. Total cost £15 - you leave with a transmitter

Pay at the G QRP Club stand on the day.

The Buildathon will begin at 12.30 (after the pie and peas!) and last most of the afternoon.

The actual finish time for individuals will depend upon how long it takes that person to complete the project.

Book by email to g3rjv@gqrp.co.uk or g3mfj@gqrp.com

What to bring:

If you can, please bring a soldering iron (ideally not a very low wattage iron as we have to make some ground connections to a piece of blank printed circuit board) Wire cutters and small pointed pliers are also useful.
