British DX Club Social Meeting - Macclesfield
Thursday 16th March
Members of the British DX Club are organising
a get-together of radio enthusiasts on the evening of Thursday 16th March
2006.
This will be at Wetherspoons 'The Society Rooms' pub in Park Green, Macclesfield
(next to the registry office).
These meetings began some years ago in Manchester as BDXC meets, but
soon diversified to include all radio enthusiasts including radio amateurs,
airband listeners, utility band monitors etc as well as the short wave
broadcast band DXers from the BDXC.
The gathering is informal and open to all, whether a member of the BDXC
or not. We would especially welcome members of the local radio clubs (Macclesfield,
Stockport, East Cheshire etc) and Summits On The Air participants as well
as British DX Club members. Feel free to bring details of your latest
constructional project, photos and QSL cards.
Macclesfield is fairly central to the hotbeds of SOTA activity in the
North West of England, so provides a good opportunity for SOTA enthusiasts
to meet up for a chat.
The Society Rooms is a large pub and always offers a range of several
hand-pull real ales. We will be there from 7pm, and will remain until
at least 9pm, after which we may adjourn to one of the excellent nearby
Indian restaurants or other pubs.
On the night I will be monitoring 145.500 MHz (the 2m calling channel
on amateur radio) and mobile telephone 07724 113877 or 07821 151504. If
you are going to come along, please try to let me know with an email to
tommyread@<no spam>hotmail.com or telephone 01625 612916.
