65. UKW-Tagung in Weinheim vielleicht virtuell
2020-06-02
Die 65. UKW-Tagung in Weinheim vom 11. bis 13. September 2020 muss leider entfallen.
Die Veranstalter haben sich die Entscheidung nicht leicht gemacht. Nach aktueller Lage der Corona-Verordnungen gilt ein Verbot für Großveranstaltungen zwar vorerst nur bis Ende August 2020, es ist aber nicht bekannt, wie es im Anschluss weitergeht. Was aber auf jeden Fall klar ist, Corona wird nicht weg sein. Es werden weiterhin viele Auflagen bleiben, die eine erhebliche Mehrbelastung für die ausrichtenden Weinheimer Funkamateure bedeuten würden, bei gleichzeitig stark reduzierter Kapazität. Was jedoch noch wichtiger ist, ist das Vermeiden von Risiken für Veranstalter und Gäste, die in der Mehrheit wohl zur Risikogruppe gezählt werden müssen.
Die UKW-Tagung mit gut besuchten Vorträgen und anschließender Diskussion, das Umherstreifen, Schauen und Feilschen an den Flohmarkständen, der Plausch auf dem Gang und in der Kantine mit alten Bekannten und neuen Hobbygenossen aber auch das Camping-Event, das Grillen und das fröhliche Beisammensein am Tagungswochenende am Clubheim Wasserhaus machen die Tagung aus.
Im Interesse der Gäste und der Vereinsmitglieder hat sich der Funkamateurclub Weinheim e. V. nun zur Absage entschlossen, um erst gar nicht Menschen in Versuchung zu führen, doch Risiken einzugehen. “Wir wollen uns in den vielen Unwägbarkeiten nicht verschleißen, sondern uns direkt für die UKW-Tagung in 2021 bereithalten.” – so Peter Wehrle, DL3PW, 1. Vorsitzender und UKW-Tagungsleiter.
Auch wenn es keine Veranstaltung vor Ort gibt, wird derzeit geprüft, ob sich der angestammte Platz im Amateurfunkkalender 2020 mit einer kleineren virtuellen Veranstaltung und ggf. einem kleinen Tagungsband füllen lässt.
Der FACW e.V. bittet daher interessierte Referenten, sich bis zum 19. Juli (Anmeldeschluss “Call vor Papers”) unter referate@ukw-tagung.org zu melden.
Tnx Info Peter Wehrle, DL3PW

Amateur radio construction – Steve G0FUW and Pete N6QW
Despite what many people think, building your own radio equipment is still a very popular aspect of amateur radio.
In fact there has never been a better time to do this, with readily accessible building blocks and high spec test equipment available at bargain basement prices, or, in the case of software, absolutely free.
This presentation covers the reasons why people homebrew radio equipment, share some ideas on how to get started and provides some examples of homebrew gear, and using hardware and software.

Starting out on the microwaves bands – Neil G4LDR
‘Starting Out on the Microwave Bands’ will provide basic information needed to understand the microwave bands and how to become operational on them.
Topics covered will include:
- What are the microwave bands
- Propagation properties and microwave beacons
- What classes of licence can use which microwave bands
- Equipment requirements including antennas and transverters
- Examples of typical equipment including simple wideband systems
- Operating on the microwave bands including satellites, contests and activity periods
- Resources to help you get going on the microwave bands
Those who become operational on the microwave bands will find there are plenty of opportunities to try the many aspects of this part of the hobby. These include operating portable from a hill top using relatively simple equipment; satellite operating; DXing; trying different operating modes including CW, voice, digital and even DATV; right through to probably the most challenging part of the hobby, moonbounce or EME.
