Portable Aerials by
Tom Robinson, G0SBW
Tuesday 7th February
7:15pm for 7:30pm start
Tom Robinson G0SBW will be making his 3rd trip to the Chelmsford Amateur
Radio Society, this time to talk about his experiments with portable aerials.
Previously he has referred to large aerials with his Manpack Talk and
with his re-creation of the Army Set 68 and Arnhem, Holland.
The availability of relatively light, compact, battery powered, multimode,
HF/VHF/UHF rigs such as the Yaesu FT817, 857, 897 and the Icom 703 and
similar, has resulted in increased popularity of /P working.
Tom, G0SWB suggests there is a lot of fun to be had by using these easily
hand carryable rigs to operate "picnic table" portable using
lightweight, easily erected antennas.
His talk will therefore discuss factors affecting the choice of suitable
antennas to suit several operating situations (including SOTA), their
construction and use. Several antennas will be available for examination
and the talk will be illustrated with diagrams/photos comparing/showing
antenna performance in various situations.
The talk will be held at the Marconi Social Club (MASC), Beehive Lane,
Great
Baddow,
CM2 9RX.
