Club meeting – 15th July 2024

The Dragon Amateur Radio Club website has been under development for a few weeks now. Martin Moyse 2W0NKS gave members a presentation explaining how the website had developed since his last talk. Martin explained that we now have two domain names. www.dragonamateurradioclub.co.uk and www.darc.wales, the latter being a forwarding domain. Our club website now has some exciting features such as random headers featuring scenes from Anglesey and north Wales. Another great feature is the ability to read the website in a wide range of languages.
SEO or Search Engine Optimisation and all that it involves was explained.

Club secretary Simon MW0NWM discussed the upcoming special event station GB0BGP being held on Bangor Garth Pier on the 20th of July 2024. We will have the use of two kiosks on the pier where we can setup VHF, UHF, HF radios and a CW display.
The primary objective of a special event station is to make local and worldwide contacts to promote Bangor Garth Pier.
However, some visitors to the special event station maybe amateur radio operators of the future so it is important that we enage them.
