Essex Skills Night Monday August 15

[M5AKA]

The next Skills Night, hosted by the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society Training Team, starts at 7pm on Monday, August 15. This free event is open to all

The Skills Night is an informal monthly get-together in central Essex, where anyone with an interest in radio can come along, try something new, share ideas, get help and advice, and socialise with others interested in the hobby.

Here’s what’s in store:
• Using a Spectrum analyser for testing antennas and handhelds, VSWR testing measuring frequency and filters. Also testing antennas and harmonics. If you have anything you’d like tested, please bring it along.

• Data modes: Essex Ham will demonstrate one of the more popular data modes, and offer free Getting Started handouts for newcomers to the hobby

• Getting Started: Advice and data mode demos from Essex Ham

• Callsign badges: Get an engraved callsign badge while you wait

• The CARS quiz, hosted by Chris G0IPU

• As always, representatives from CARS, Essex RAYNET, Essex Repeater Group, Essex CW Club, Ham Goodies and Essex Ham will be on hand to help with questions

The activity list is subject to change and availability.
