Appoint a net controller who will ensure that everyone gets a turn.
As there may well be newcomers, please introduce yourself by first name.
Also these nets may be a good opportunity to offer help to members who are self-isolating or to ask to help.
Good luck and have fun.

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

And we raised £22 for solar-aid!

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
