10 Minute Talks – 20th January 2025

Amateur radio operators, often known as “hams,” are known for their deep passion for communication and technology, but their interests rarely stop there. The hobby’s diverse nature attracts people from all walks of life, many of whom bring their enthusiasm for other pursuits into their amateur radio experiences. This blending of hobbies creates a dynamic and fascinating community.
Members of the Dragon Amateur Radio Club are no exception, and the 10-minute talk night provides them with a chance to share their interests, hobbies, careers, or anything else they’d like to discuss with fellow club members in a brief 10-minute presentation.

Danny GW7BZR talked about his ever growing family of Handheld Radios, that he doesn’t use! Simon NW0NWM talked about significant moments in RF history, Martin 2W0NKS talked about the Royal British Legion Riders Branch, Stuart Rolfe told us all about what it was that got him into amateur radio, Harrison M7WXR talked about interesting aviation and shipping frequencies for shortwave listeners, and David GW6MLI talked about interesting idioms, proverbs, and expressions and where they originated from.
