Can YOUR CLUB help bring the NRC into being ?

Radio Amateurs who can do circuit engineering are needed to help with the displays for the National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park.

Work is progressing well with the National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park. We have an exciting internal concept, we already have the core of many of the interactive displays, and of the other multi-media exhibits.

Where we need help now is in circuit engineering!
Part of the NRC will have some hardware displays (what we are calling “turn and learn” displays), where the visitor interacts with the basic building blocks of a simple radio system.
Concepts like the oscillator, resonance, modulation, bandwidth and antenna gain will be handled in a simple easy-to-access way.

We’re looking for volunteers to take one of these and design the circuit to show the effect. We have the “block diagrams” completed for each display. What is needed is to construct a breadboard to prove the circuit design, and to work with other members of our team to produce a final version of the circuit. None are particularly complex, but we need more effort to spread the load a bit. Needless to say, all costs will be covered by the Society.

Are there people in YOUR club who might be able to help with one of the projects ? Please if you think you can help, contact Don, G3BJ g3bj@rsgb.org.uk.

Time is short (we need the project completing by March 2011) so please let us know quickly.
