Join us for an engaging and community-filled night, where innovation, exploration, and local connection take center stage. Whether you’re a regular member, a curious visitor, or someone with a passion for all things technical, this evening promises to inspire and inform.
We’ll kick off the night with a brief club update, where you’ll hear the latest news, developments, and plans from within the group. Then, Vice President John VK4JBE will be presenting an engaging and informative talk on “An Introduction to DATV“.
John will introduce the fascinating world of Digital Amateur Television (DATV), explaining the principles behind the technology and sharing insights from his own journey into these digital modes. Whether you are simply curious or considering getting started yourself, this presentation will provide an excellent overview of this exciting and rapidly growing aspect of our hobby.
- Who can use DATV, and on which amateur bands
- The different technologies and transmission methods in use
- What is required to set up a simple DATV station
