The remainder will be listed in the next newsletter. The equipment is in good condition cosmetically but has not been tested.</div> <div> <B>b)</B> Earlier this year we had an increase in the meeting room rent and a further review is proposed in January 2011 although that amount has yet to be decided. It is therefore proposed to increase the meeting attendance fee from the £1 amount which has been in place for many years to £2.00 to cover these increased costs.</div> <div> <B><U>Technical Snippets</U></B></div> <div> <B>a)</B> Six meters has produced some interesting openings during the daytime with 9H1 heard and IT9 worked, both on SSB with S9 signals. Few stations were heard on CW.</div> <div> Your scribe has had some success in the design and construction of valve circuits for his SB-101 rebuild project. The 6AR8 based self oscillating (crystal controlled) balanced modulator is now working correctly and producing in excess of 40dB carrier suppression and a low level amplitude modulator using the heptode section of an ECH81 produces up to 90% modulation depth before significant distortion occurs. Both circuits work at 3.395MHz. The triode section of the ECH81 will be used as a unity gain phase inverter so that push-pull audio signals are available to drive the balanced modulator.</div> <div> <B><U>Miscellaneous</U></B></div> <div> <B>Steve G3WZK</B> from CATS writes: <I>As a footnote to the Woodside Brickworks saga</I> (CPREC July 2010 talk - Ed)<I>, I did an evening class in geology once and remember being told that, towards the end, the brickworks received a temporary reprieve from closure. At the time, the Victoria tube line tunnels were being dug and producing a lot of valuable clay, so it was decided to keep the works open a little longer so that all the spoil from the excavations could be put to good use. As soon as the tunnels had been dug, the works closed.</I></div> <div> Wimbledon & District ARS - Annual Camp</div> <div> This event takes place each year although this is the first time that I have visited the site. I spoke to Kim on GX3WIM immediately after our Wednesday net finished and he invited me to visit later that week. The site is located in a large farm field about one mile to the east of Junction 8 on the M25. </div> <div> When I arrived at around midday, most people were still recovering from a very late session the previous evening. There were three station tents powered from a number of generators ranging from 500W to 6KW. The first two photos show an HF and VHF station provided by John G8MNY and the associated aerial system.</div> <div> The station consists of an Icom IC730 transceiver and a Drake 400W linear for the HF bands and an FT690 driving a 50W solid state linear in turn driving a 4CX250B linear generating in excess of 200W output on 50MHz. The FT690 was throttled back to around 100mW output power.</div> <div> The beam on the left is a five element vertically polarised yagi for 144MHz. The other two horizontal beams are a five element yagi for 6m and a TA33jr three band yagi covering 10-15-20m. While I was there an HA6 in Hungary was raised on 50MHz SSB at 5&9 both ways.</div> <div> Radio Station:</div> <div> <IMG SRC="3880ac70.jpg" border=0 width="266" height="199" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Aerials:</div> <div> <IMG SRC="38a055c0.jpg" border=0 width="261" height="348" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Another tent housed a 2m station with a 15 element beam pointing North - the Angus beacon was coming in loud and clear.</div> <div> <B>Air Day 2010 at RAF Kenley</B></div> <div> Your scribe and his XYL Cathy visited this event on 14<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >th</FONT> August 2010 hoping to see a Lancaster and other WWII aircraft in a fly-past. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse and with the cloud cover as low as 600 feet the fly-past was called off.</div> <div> However, all of the other programme events took place including an impressive display of radio controlled aircraft with one simulating an on- board fire with lots of smoke and some very clever aerobatics.
