Open house at Flight Refuelling for National Science Week

The Flight Refuelling Amateur Radio Society will once again be holding an open day at their Society HQ at Merley, near Wimborne Minster in Dorset, on Saturday 20 March as part of their National Science Week participation.

Doors open at 11am and active demonstrations of most aspects of current amateur radio communications will be available for viewing by the general public and fellow enthusiasts.

HF, VHF and microwave exhibits, including satellite and EME should feature, together with other items such as a working high voltage Tesla coil. The theme for Science Week 2010 is based on The Earth, so grounding will be in there somewhere.

The event will be live webstreamed by members of BATC - last year's event attracted a peak web audience of over 1000.
