What on Earth is this...

This is our regular competition where we show an unusual object, tool, gadget or thing-me-bob sent in by one of the NARC members and you have to guess (or maybe you know!) what it is for...

 

Have a good look at the picture below - what on earth is this or what is it used for  ...?!

You have until 3pm on the next NARC Live to let Tammy and David know...

Dates for your Diary...

There are a number of interesting meetings being planned for meetings for next couple of months at CNS School and you may like to add these to your diary:

 

WRTC is coming to the UK!

Wednesday December 11th - CNS School 1900-2130

WRTC presentation - The World Radiosport Team Championships is the Amateur Radio equivalent of the Olympic Games and just like the Olympics it only runs every 4 years.

What makes the 2026 event special is that it is being hosted in Great Britain and, not only that, but it is being held in East Anglia with many of the 50 stations in Norfolk!  

The WRTC26 Committee are coming to NARC to give us a special Christmas 2024 presentation and we hope as many members come as possible will be there as there are many ways both members and NARC can get directly involved :).  

 

 

 

Christmas Day net  

Wednesday 25th December

Nigel 2E0NLK is going to run his now traditional christmas day net on repeater GB3NB from 19.30 - everyone most welcome!  (Nigel has run this Christmas Day net since he was first licensed in 2005!)

 

 

 

3D Printing evening!

Wednesday January 8th - CNS School 1900-2130

Martin G7UGB has agreed to bring in his 3D Printer to demonstrate and explain how they work and what you can do with them - we encourage other members to bring in theirs too so it becomes a great way to see and share ideas.

 

 

 

Contests 2025...

Wednesday January 22nd - CNS School 1900-2130

We ask that all NARC members interested in Contesting come to the meeting this evening to discuss options and agree on which main events both HF and VHF contest groups enter for the club in 2025 and where to do them from etc.

NARC Club and members news...

Members are very welcome to send me (David G7URP) news and submit articles for the newsletter which can be published here...  Please make sure they are sent to me in plain formatted black text (ideally Arial or Helvetica 12pt) on a plain background otherwise it may not show well on newsletters and on the website. Thank you.
 
Listening to astronauts...
Steve G4GHO has just been listening to the latest edition of Short Cuts "Into the night" and thought it may interest other club members. 'It features two guys talking about building home made receiving kit to listen to the inter-backpack radio comms between Neil Armstrong and the command centre during the moon landings'. The piece is called Lunar Eavesdropping and you can listen to it on BBC Sounds:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0025l4z
Professional Audio Mixer desks FREE TO A GOOD HOME
A Broadcast Radio Station in Norwich has two substantial Professional desks/benches which they no longer need because of a refit and are looking to give them new homes. These are professional desks made by the Sonifex company and designed for their audio mixers, originally costing several thousand pounds. They have large openings cut in the desks where the mixers were inset so these would need to be covered unless you want to use them for something similar, but there are spare wood panels you could use for this and you will end up with very sturdy and stable benches/desks. There is also a Minidisc player available free of charge.
 
The Radio Station would like them to find good homes with maybe just a small donation to their charity if you are able. Sadly they will be scrapped if nobody wants them!
The benches are in Norwich just off Aylsham Road - for details and how to view or collect one or both please contact David G7URP asap - radio@dcpmicro.com
