we have a special "launch" of the clubs new ATV station, the meeting will be broadcast live in "4k super high def panovision, dolby surround sound" or something
if you are in melbourne, you can see this on vk3rtv, or use the BATV website for the online feed..
"Coffee Shop" meetings are held on the third Friday of each month in our club rooms, commencing at 8:00pm.
These meetings are quite informal and generally involve discussions of a project or presentations of a technical nature.
Friday night's speaker Len Steel, VK3FB will be discussing portable “super light” antennas for use in eg SOTA activations.
Len was a Radio Training Officer in the Army at Watsonia, which included teaching CW, and then a university
lecturer in electronics.
Len has some very different antenna ideas, and this particular one covers 10 through 40M including the WARC bands.
He will have on hand several items that will be of interest to everyone.
