The bluffer’s guide to digital voice – Tim GW4VXE.
Tim will provide a quick overview of the most common digital modes (D-STAR, DMR and Fusion) as well as some of the less common modes. Tim will explain how you might use them.
Which mode is the best? Tim will look at code-plugs and hotspots and try and demystify some of the jargon for you.
Technology permitting, he’ll try and do a demo with the chance for a little audience participation. Rather than being a heavy session, the emphasis will be on light but informative content.

Friese Radio Markt Beetsterzwaag
Dit jaar wordt de markt georganiseerd op 28 mei 2022,
dit natuurlijk onder voorbehoud vanwege het Corona virus.
Jaarlijks organiseert de afdeling Friese Wouden A63 een grote radio- en elektronicamarkt onder de naam “Friese Radio Markt”. Deze markt vindt plaats in en rondom dorpshuis “De Buorskip” in het prachtige bosrijke Beetsterzwaag (Fr.). Op de markt kunt u terecht voor juist dat onderdeel wat u al lang zocht, en soms kun je iets aantreffen wat je ook heel goed kunt gebruiken bij je hobby of in je hobbykamer. Ruim 100 standhouders – zowel particulieren als handelaren – prijzen binnen en buiten hun goederen aan. Elk jaar verwachten we weer zo’n 2000 bezoekers. Parkeren kan bijna altijd op korte loopafstand. Er is een speciaal parkeerterrein voor mindervaliden.
De gezelligheid en de gemoedelijke sfeer op de FRM wordt alom geroemd. En niet te vergeten het onderlinge contact en die zendamateur ontmoeten waar je regelmatig een verbinding mee hebt. Dit alles onder het genot van een kop koffie, iets fris en misschien een hapje uit de keuken van dorpshuis “De Buorskip”.
The story of Jodrell Bank –
Ian G0DMU.
Professor Ian Morison, G0DMU will give a review of the history of Jodrell Bank, one of the world’s premier radio astronomy observatories; from its founding in 1945, the completion of the Mk I (now Lovell) radio telescope in 1957 – still the third largest fully steerable telescope in the world – and the building of the MERLIN array in the 1980s and 90s.
The MERLIN array has the same resolution as the Hubble Space Telescope and many collaborative observations have been made over the past 30 years. Its seven telescopes also link up with others across Europe to provide an instrument whose resolution far exceeds that of optical telescopes.
Some of its most exciting discoveries will be discussed in the context of how radio observations are made – many of which can complement those made by optical telescopes.
