Microwave Workshop visits Dorset

The UK Microwave Group is hosting a microwave workshop for beginners in Wimborne, Dorset on Saturday 30 September. This is the second in a series of microwave events the group plans to hold around the country.

Organised by UK Microwave Group committee member Paul, M0EYT, the Winborne workshop will provide attendees with an introduction to amateur microwaves. The event is not intended for those already experienced in this part of the spectrum but for those who want to try out the microwave bands for the first time.

The full programme of activities has not yet been finalised but will include an introductory presentation on microwaves and talks on simple 10GHz transceivers, microwave antennas suitable for radio amateurs and the Dorset-based microwave beacon complex. There will also be practical demonstrations of microwave contacts at 10GHz.

The event takes place at the Flight Refuelling Amateur Radio Society’s venue at Cobham Sports and Social Club in Wimborne.
