Our thoughts are currently with
our member and friend Jim Haystead M3CHJ who has recently been in hospital, and
is facing
major surgery some time in July. We wish Jim well and look forward to seeing him back at the club
soon
Several of our members visited the Doncaster
Council Emergency Communications Centre on June 1st. We were treated to a
Powerpoint presentation of the work of this important department, with emphasis
on what happened during the recent major flooding in the area. We then had a
chance to see the layout of the room and to ask any questions. As there is no
Doncaster Raynet we have registered our details with the centre in case we could
be of help at any time.
Barry M1CYJ has presented the club with a fine dual band beam for
2M and 70cm.
We are requesting
permission from our landlord to install an aerial bracket on the end of the
building. If given it will be set up in such a way that our VHF/UHF
vertical can just be dropped in on club nights, and just as easily removed when
we close down.
