Tonight at @G5BK I auctioned a cisco SPA 525G2 voip phone for use on the #hamshackhotline
The winner was picked using pythons and ladders

Following the success of the 10am Christmas Day it's been suggested that we should try a New Year's Day Net.
So let's gather at 10am on 145.400MHz (look up or down 25kHz if that channel is busy).

July Meeting
Date: Thursday 18th July, 7.30 for 8pm.
It’s a “let’s get on-the-air” evening! Please bring along your mobile or portable, or even hand-held, equipment and set up in the car-park. Demonstrate or simply display your station for the benefit of fellow club members and hopefully make a QSO or three. If the weather is wet then we can do the same indoors perhaps bringing long lengths of coax to feed the antennas outside.
June Meeting Report
Last month we had the pleasure of a fascinating illustrated talk about Lundy given by Brian G4CIB, aided by his wife Leta G4RHK, both of whom are prominent and active members of the Gloucester club.
Lundy lies in the Bristol channel some two hours sailing time from Ifracombe in North Devon, it’s long and thin island about 3 miles north-to-south and about one quarter of a mile wide. There’s one pub, one shop and on

Tony G3YYH was, as usual, the auctioneer, Andrew M0MVA kept records of bids and successful bidders, Peter G3YJE collected monies owed, and Tim G8PZD acted as gatekeeper checking that lots were not […]

April Meeting
At the next meeting we'll hear two short talks, each lasting about 30 minutes, given by club members.
Peter G4ENA will present an illustrated talk called “Radio with Ropes Attached” relating his interesting experiences operating on the HF bands from his canal boat.
The second talk will be by Alan M0NRO on 3D printing – those of us who saw his “products” at the Constructors’ Exhibition will confirm that this
