Pox Apocalypse

[Mark Dixon]

My son William, who once visited us for advice on a satellite receiver, is involved in an event called Pox Eclipse (https://www.pox-eclipse.com/about) in Doodlakine next month. One of the things they do there is operate a low powered local FM radio station during the event. Their equipment apparently has developed some problems with its antenna, and static on the audio. I said some of us VHFers might be able to assist. I've coordinated with Dave to open the shack on Saturday (13th, not a regular activity day for us) to help with that. 

You are invited to come and have a look and see if you can assist - from noon.

Regards, Mark Dixon VK6EZ
Secretary, WA VHF Group.

Another thought to entice you to Wireless Hill tomorrow (Sat 23th): Someone called asking if we can assist with some old transistor radios and also an audio sound system.  It would be great to be able to help them, and also the Pox Eclipse guys at the shack! 

Regards, Mark.

God idea Mark,

Helps to showcase what radio and electronics is about.

For domestic gear also consider pointing them in the direction of the Vintage Wireless and Gramophone Club.    An invitation to their Secretary Andrew Wakeman, or whomever their Secretary is now may be appropriate some time.   For a cuppa and chat.

The "Vintage" in their title does not limit their gear to  old valve equipment.

Regards

Denis
