Bank Holiday Breather
Club Members are reminded that we don’t meet on Bank Holidays. We do have a new talk on 14th May. Check out the diary page for all our events.
Month: April 2018
Club visit Monday 16th April 2018
I have been asked to stop by the club this coming Monday to talk about the website.
There is already a planned talk that night so I will take just 15 minutes from 19:15 to discuss the recent website changes.

World Amateur Radio Day 18th April 2018
Amateur radio has its own day – 18th April 2018.

Before the web, the Internet and cellular communications there was wireless. Amateur radio allowed everyone in to worldwide communication. Today wireless is still important with wireless home routers, wireless data transfer and cell phones.
Amateur radio day celebrates the pioneers of radio.
International Marconi Day 2017
Last year we did International Marconi Day from Blyth Battery.
The World War II bunker allowed the club to transmit most of the day from the Northumberland Coastline.
After we found the remote location at the end of a car park we set up an aerial.
Inside some construction was in order.
Working with members of the Tyneside Amateur Radio Club we ran a small station for most of the day on VHF and HF frequencies.
New Website
The ANARC website has been redesigned and refreshed. I am playing with the content right now but soon all the old stuff will be back along with the new stuff.
