VHF & Up at the RSGB Convention

For the second year, a VHF and UP stream is incorporated into the RSGB Convention. As usual there are some very interesting talks included, ranging from VHF antennas to UHF DXing and Contesting as well as Microwave contesting.

There will also be talks on Software Defined Radios in a VHF context and an update into the research in making Sporadic-E predictable.

For those interested in home brew there will be a talk on how to build solid state high power amplifiers at VHF.

In a departure from these more usual VHF talks, subjects like how the Earth's Magnetic Field affects propagation and CMEs will be on the programme. Look out for a fascinating talk on the research being undertaken to understand the Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun, which has clear impact on VHF, particularly with regard to the auroral curtain. It is hoped that a talk on how reception of space probes is enabled at very considerable distance at microwave will also be included in the programme.

Final details of the programme and speakers will be available on the website at www.rsgb.org/rsgbconvention/ as they are finalised.

You will also find booking details whether you plan to stay for the weekend or just visit for a day.
