The main item on the agenda is a talk by fellow memberHenry VK4BUD about Rotators – and his journey involving DiSEqC: What Is it?, and how can it be used in Amateur Radio. The talk also provides an introduction to the BDARS Maker Group DiSEqC Rotator Project.
Henry will cover the development and construction of an antenna rotator, a practical demonstration of the actual DiSEqC protocol, and a he has a magic light show just in time for Christmas. Not to mention, there will also be a Maths test!
There will also be the usual update on recent club activities, time for a coffee and a chat with your colleagues, and of course any ‘show-and-tells’ that you bring along to introduce to the group – your latest technology acquisitions or home brew projects to amaze the other members!.
In-line with the club’s initiative to help us all refresh and wonder over some of the technical aspects of the hobby. If you have a topic you would like to share with the group at this or later meetings please let our President Martin know.
Its also a good opportunity to:-
- Enlist help for anything you need from the other members.
- Confirm shared travel arrangements for visiting the upcoming contests, hamfests and meetings.
