??????????? firstly many thanks to all who came along on Monday to help with the Ant Mods.? The session was not completed (partly due to a passing thunderstorm that stopped play for a couple of hours).? This means that we need another session to complete the work.? Watch this space. I have read the press release about the new Foundation Equivalent Exam offered by the ATC. This has some interesting implications on the existing structure of the Foundation Exam as i see it. I have not compared the Sylibus and i have no knowlege of their examintion requirements, but i should be expecting the following from the RSGB; 1.? It should not be necessary to provide 3 full licensed persons as invigulators for future Foundation Exams. 2.? The same offer of 1 years free membership should be extended to all new license holders. These are my own personal feelings but if there is enough interest among our membership, i will pass them on to the DRM as an official observation (and request) from MYARS. Trevor G6ALJ ?

开云体育I totally agree Trevor – we should not allow
“split-membership” conditions to appear.

Important news!!
?
Several members have asked if we can participate
in the WAB Olympic Torch special event station on Thursday 19th
July. I have checked with Leslee and the hut is free that day,
so I have booked it for us. Ideally, at least 6 members would
be reqd to provide full cover, but we could possibly manage with 4 at a push.
However, the more the merrier! I will complete the on-line form for one-day
(free) membership of WAB, so any members who would like to help on the day
please let me know! It is our chance as a club to hold a special event station
in our own QTH – don’t miss this opportunity folks!!
