 Presenter: Everyone!
-If you're curious about getting started in portable operation, how to go about it, where to go, or even why you should try it at all, this talk is for you. Ian only got started working portable in 2024, but quickly caught the bug, and 100-or-so park activations later, he'll share what he's learned about rigs, antennas, batteries, and operating techniques. From tough mountain climbs to the park down the road, and even just operating from your car, portable operating has something for every level of fitness and appetite for adventure!

+| 5th Sep 2026 | John Stringer M5JFS | Chasing Birds: The Addictive World of Amateur Radio Satellites | An introduction to the world of amateur radio satellite working. John will start with a brief potted history of how he got hooked on this aspect of the hobby, getting started with very modest and basic gear that he had to hand and how he later developed and improved his 'station' to where it is today as he grew in experience and interest. He'll then cover the types of satellites that are out there, the gear you need (or don't need) to work them, operating etiquette and best practices, useful software, tools and social networks, and finally he'll tell us about a few notable moments and achievements that he's have had in his 6 years on the birds. |
