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.

Discover more about Amateur Radio Direction Finding – Bob G3ORY
Bob takes a look at Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) from its start in the UK prior to World War 2 to the situation in 2021 where there is a worldwide structure, competition format and rules. It covers the legal impediments to running DF hunts using cars, the frequencies, competition formats and the equipment needed for 2021 ARDF.
There will then be a sequence of videos showing someone competing in a 144MHz event which shows not just the taking and plotting of bearings but the whole decision-making process that results in locating the hidden transmitters rapidly. It is the challenge of this process that can make ARDF so enjoyable. The webinar will also feature contributions from Kim Taylor, M0KNV giving the perspective of a regular Club member being talked into trying ARDF and from Flora Jolly who was persuaded to go out and try ARDF with her Dad David, M0JCO. The presentation wraps up with a review of ARDF coverage across the RSGB Regions and the steps currently being taken by the RSGB Board and the ARDF Committee to make provision for ARDF in all regions.

The Sherwood Ratings: Transceiver Performance for the HF DX & Contest Operator , Rob NC0B
Rob Sherwood’s name has become something of a standard in the radio amateur equipment world as a trusted comparison guide to the technical performance of a wide range of transceivers.
This presentation will explain the process that Sherwood Engineering go through to produce detailed performance figures for a wide range of transceivers. Rob will talk about the acquisition of a true random sample of the radio, through to the technical processes of measurement and the compilation and presentation of comparative results.
The presentation will also include details of Rob’s recent findings on the long awaited new Elecraft K4D.
Rob will also talk about how modern receivers have become very good but how generally many transmitters need attention to some aspects of their performance.
