Topics for the evening as follows:
- Reminder of the Tabletop sale on Friday night on Canvey, plus the cake testing for that event.
- Echolink – Lots of testing of the IDA Echolink link, meaning for a while, there was a party going on.
- Woxun handheld programming. Dean asking whether the “S” or the “V” memory presets are best. Seems that “S” is the answer
- Could local ham radio operations cause interference to a Sky box?
- We should stop referring to “interference” instead we should go with “breakthrough”
Handy Links
- None tonight
We wrapped up early due to the problems with GB3DA which have evidently still not been addressed. Thanks to all, and sorry for the abrupt end at 22:15pm
