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.

Beste MLB-leden,
Beste sympathisanten,
Op onze MLB-clubavond van vrijdag 18 juni 2021 om 20 uur gaan we opnieuw fysiek samenkomen aan ons clublokaal aan de Poolse Zaal.
Corona heeft ons sociaal leven en onze samenkomsten al een hele tijd lam gelegd.
Doch de coronacijfers gaan momenteel de goede richting uit en de vaccinatiecampagne gaat vlot vooruit.
We moeten wel nog rekening houden met een aantal voorwaarden en (corona)regels:
- de samenkomst zal buiten aan de Poolse Zaal plaats vinden, als het weer het toelaat
- we houden minstens 1,5 meter afstand van elkaar
- we dragen een mondmasker
We zouden het dan onder meer willen hebben over:
- hoe het met jullie en de hobby gaat
- hoe jullie de hele coronapandemie ervaren
- hoe het verder gaat na de vakantiemaanden juli en augustus
- welke vaste antenne we aan de Poolse Zaal permanent kunnen opstellen
- en alle andere onderwerpen waar jullie als leden het over willen hebben
Hopelijk zien we elkaar ter plaatse.
Tot dan.
Assessing your station against ICNIRP EMF levels – John M0JAV
Ofcom is implementing changes to all transmitting licences to require licensees to comply with ICNIRP general public limits on EMF exposure. This will include previously licence exempt users who transmit at powers of more than 10W EIRP. John will introduce the work of the RSGB and ARRL experts in assessment of exposure to EM fields.
RSGB responded to the Ofcom consultation (on behalf of UK amateurs) and we are now preparing guidance on compliance with the new requirements. The talk will outline these requirements and introduce four ways to conduct and record the results of the assessment include calculating required separation, use of known compliant station configurations and potential mitigating actions.
