Start time: 6.30pm
No need to book just turn up for an evening of good food and conversation!
Thanks again Les for organising this months get together.
Well, another very informative and interesting presentation on digital radio and modes by our resident techo Brian VK5VI. A great coverage of digital from the early days through packet radio, QAM, voice encoding etc. into the modern digital world today. Thanks Brian for a great presentation and the preparation done to put a very technical topic into something all those present could understand. 73s Nig.
Another informative and interesting presentation by Rob (VK5RC) on capacitor characteristics and tuning your radio to get the best possible reception from your rig. Using YouTube videos and a Podcast, Rob also made good use of a webcam and his Icom 7300 to put the podcast audio into context. Thanks again Rob and I am sure this was enjoyed by all those present. The digital session scheduled for this meeting is to be presented at the next meeting on the 23rd June 2017.
YouTube and Podcast links spoken of can be found on the General Links page.

Well the WIA conference at Handorf is now over for another year, with many interstate visitors making their way home. A great turnout by NERC members who attended many of the events on offer throughout the weekend. This included the AGM, visits to the Birdwood Car Museum and many other activities that makes radio magic. Many facets of our hobby was on show Sunday afternoon at the Handorf Oval including EME, STEM conducted by by Joe (VK3YSP) and Julie (VK3FOWL), a great ‘show and tell’ by Steve (VK5SFA) on magnetic loops and many other great presentations and displays. The highlight of the afternoon was the HORUS balloon launch which went off after a few last minute checks by the AREG boys, with contacts being made through the parrot repeater payload to the VI5WIA special event callsign. A great event and congratulations to the organising committee for making this a big success.
Even one of our own members became the official photographer capturing all the action at the oval on Sunday! 73s. Nig.
History of Police Communications is a presentation given by retired Police Tech Ben VK5BB at the NERC club 12 May 2017
