Third Radio Club Meeting
Tuesday 4 December
We had a very productive Radio Club meeting, although there was a small number of us.
Glenn and Graham, explained that usually a Radio Rally was a place to exchange second hand equipment and often had one main trader there selling their equipment. We discussed how Waygood’s Radio Rally could be a place to exchange information and maybe tell the story of radio communication and that different local clubs could demonstrate different aspects of radio equipment.
For those of us who are keen to study for the foundation license Glenn and Graham offered to teach us for two Saturdays in January provisionally Saturday 12 January and 19 January, studying here at Harkers and taking the exam one evening at their Tynemouth Club.
Email me, Helen@waygood.org if you definitely want to train for the license. Or come along to the next meeting of Waygood’s Radio Club on Tuesday 8 January to find out more.
For those of you who want to keep involved but do not want to train for the license or are located in different parts of the country or the world, please keep in touch and communicate your ideas with us via this blog or by email.
We have already had suggestions of sending knitting patterns by morse code from a Finnish island from Colin and look forward to exploring many more exciting collaborations.
73 to you all!

It would be great to outline here what is involved in the training for a license.
A thought - if the training occurred during or around the AV festival, visitors could perhaps join in?
Greetings from Germany
Hi
Training usually takes at least 10 hours of tuition, which we are planning to do over two saturdays in January and take the exam at the Tynemouth Club on a Friday evening.
The reason for this was to get the training and hopefully the certificates in advance of AV Festival so we talk with knowledge at the Radio Rally and maybe join in the closing performance, understanding the possibilities of working with amateur radio to progress with creating projects,
However if there is a great deal of interest to take an intensive course around the Festival we could look into that, it depends on the availability of the people offering training, which is weekends as they have full time work, and those interested. Are you planning to come across from Germany for AV Festival?
If anyone else is interested, please let us know here or by email.
