Many thanks to everyone for attending the AGM last Thursday. For those that were not present, all of the committee were returned to their existing posts. So the new committee is:
John Ronan – EI7IG, Chairperson
Eamonn Kavanagh – EI3ENB, Vice Chairperson
John Burke – EI2JB, Secretary
Tommy Hallinan – EI2IT, Treasurer
Paul Norris – EI3ENB, P.R.O.
Plans are being made for a Christmas dinner, please contact John, EI7IG for details.
After a good bit of testing, we now have one of Scott, N1VG‘s Opentracker2 Prototypes ready for deployment and Tommy, EI2IT’s QTH. The Coverage should be roughly what is predicted in the picture below.
Persuaded the XYL and her sister to go walking yesterday, and took the opportunity to excercise the Conterra-inc Radio Harness. We walked up to the top of SuĂ Finn (Seefin) in the Monavullagh mountains.
I managed to raise EI2IT, EI5JF and M3MEL (Cornwall) on simplex from the cairn on the top, and EI1CN on the SEARG repeater system.
Many thanks to all who turned up last night, a most informative and enjoyable meeting was had by all I think. Keep August 27th in your diaries as we’re planning an assault on Slievenamban for the 2m Counties Contest.
Many thanks to those that turned up for the meeting last night. A wide and varied discussion was enjoyed, covering such diverse topics as Solar Power (PV and Water Heating), 2.4 & 5.8Ghz WiFi networking and Contest logging computer interfaces. See you all again next month.
