A taste of what's to come in 2007The South African Radio League is planning an extensive programme for the 2007 Radio Technology in Action series. The opening plenary will feature Tony Voorveld, ZS6CCD, with a lecture and demonstration entitled: "THE CROWN OF CUPS". The year 2000 was the commemoration of the bicentenary of the invention of the battery by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. On 20 March 1800 in a letter to Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Institution in London, Volta announced the invention of what he called his "Voltaic Pile". This early invention of Volta's and the subsequent evolution of various types of batteries throughout the 19th century has made possible the technological advances one has taken for granted throughout the 20th century. Tony's lecture will be well demonstrated with various experiments of the time. Make a note of the dates on which the RTA comes to your area. If you have an interesting experience you would like to share with fellow radio amateurs and electronic enthusiasts drop a mail to armi@sarl.org.za for possible inclusion of your paper in the programme for your area.
