On Thursday 4th September, members of Dragon ARC paid a visit to Rhyl & District Amateur Radio Club at their potential new home of Rhyl Yacht Club. Simon MW0NWM, a member of Dragon ARC attended in his role of Regional Representative for the Radio Society of Great Britain in North Wales, wishing Rhyl & District the best of luck in their potential new venue.
18 people attended this pleasant social evening where copious amounts of tea, coffee and biscuits were consumed.
Rhyl club member Alan GW4HDR set up a vertical aerial and checked for HF noise levels at the Yacht Club using his Icom IC705 and compared them on a fellow club member’s, Xiegu G90. They found that there were high noise levels on 80 metres, but other HF bands were usable. This could prove to be useful if they plan to operate from the site in future.
The following amateur attended the event: Sylvia SWL, 2W1LJC, 2W0JEB, GW4CQZ, GW4HDR, GW4RWR, GW6MLI, GW7AMS, GW7BZR, GW8NZN, MW0GBR, MW0IDX, MW0NDE, MW0NWM, MW1DSB, MW7FXH and Alan GW4HDR.
Alan thanked Tony GW7AMS and the Yacht Club for allowing them to use their lovely premises and hope that Rhyl & District ARC will be able to use the building on a monthly basis. In conclusion it was a very enjoyable evening!
