Just around the corner from MATILDA BAY & just a stone’s throw away from The University of Western Australia.

At the meeting Anthony VK6AXB has put up his hand to give a talk and practical demonstration.

The topic, is roughly…
Repeater Cavities: The Who, What, Where, Why, & When – (With particular note of fact that we need to convert a stock pile of VHF commercial cavities that we have, for use on 2m Repeaters – a great learning opportunity for any amateurs wanting to gain some new experiences) .

Report on Cables & Connectors Activity from the September 2024 Meeting of WARG

The meeting was held on Sept 2nd and was reasonably attended with several apologies and some missing folk probably experiencing “life happening”. The meeting was held, it had its usual parts, correspon-dence, treasurer’s report, promotions and socials report, and the Technical discussion and report. The meeting closed at 21:20 and we then had a little thing we called the Cables and Connectors Activity…

So much information was exchanged in the activity… much learned and many tips shared… but you had to be there.

I locked up, at a couple of minutes to midnight.

WARG will continue to do Lectures and Activity nights in forthcoming months. Like they say… Be there, or be square!
