Radio Communications at Arnhem
by Tom Robinson G0SBW
Tuesday July 5th. 7-30pm at the Marconi Social
Club
Tom is paying us a second visit and you may remember his last talk was
all about HF Pedestrian Mobile or Radio on the Move.
This month, still radio and still about back-pack radios, but this time
the story of radio on the move in wartime conditions.
In his talk, Tom will describe his preparation for, and participation
in, an episode of the TV series "Battlefield Detectives" that
covered ‘Operation Market Garden’, Montgomery's ill-fated
airborne thrust against the German army in Holland in September 1944.
We will also see a short
video that shows all the radio sequences.
Tom will concentrate on some items omitted from the February RadCom article
and will go on to discuss his view of what went wrong with the communications.
He will highlight some of the issues and some of the little known communication
successes at Arnhem that are still relevant to today's amateur radio scene.
The raffle this month is being run by Geoff G7KLV and Colin G0TRM. Please
give us your support.
The meeting will be held in the Marconi Social Club, Beehive Lane, Great
Baddow. The doors open at 7:15pm and visitors are most welcome. Car parking
is free and a bar is available for refreshments.
