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.

Het Nederlandse elektriciteitsnet, door Roy PA2RY
Wat er na de meterkast gebeurt, weten de meesten wel. We maken er dagelijks gebruik van en menigeen heeft er aan geknutseld, met of zonder succes hi. Maar wat gebeurt er voor de meterkast? We kennen ze wel, de trafo-huisjes, hoogspanningsmasten en diverse soorten centrales. Roy gaat ons vanavond haarfijn uitleggen wat er allemaal nodig is om bij jouw thuis de lamp te laten branden en wil je na vanavond nog meer weten, dan ben je altijd bij hem thuis welkom om met een kop koffie eens door de boeken te komen bladeren!

Radio waves and antennas … and all that – Peter G3XJE
This presentation covers a range of antenna-related information so there should be something for everyone:
What makes a radio wave? Some mysterious properties of radio waves which you might not have appreciated. How do you launch radio waves? Antennas. Radiation resistance. Radiation patterns. Antenna gain. Transmitting and receiving. Getting power into, and from, your antenna. Resonance, or lack thereof. Feeders. Feeder impedance. Matching – does VSWR really matter? Why can’t you make a monopole? Multi-element antennas. Phased antennas.

Back to the keyboard – Mike G4WNC
Now that we’ve filled our logbooks with FT-8 contacts, maybe it’s time to move on and start communicating again!
In this illustrated talk, Mike Richards, G4WNC introduces you to the best data modes for keyboard QSOs.
In addition to explaining their operation and configuration, Mike will run through some operating techniques to take the strain out of keyboard QSOs.

Thema avond: de Shack
Aan de hand van foto’s kan toegelicht worden hoe je de shack ingericht hebt.
Tegenwoordig is er meer in de shack te vinden dan alleen een zender en ontvanger.
Maximaal 3 foto’s kunnen opgestuurd worden naar de secretaris.
Voor meer info kan je ook contact opnemen met secretaris Jan PA0SIM (A31@veron.nl).
