Short Notice Radio Field Day

On Sunday the 11th of September 2016, Essex Ham held its most
impromptu event yet.

With good weather forecast, an early morning post was made on social
media, and a few hours later, nine people met at Shoebury Beach, near
Southend, for an afternoon of radio, experimentation and fun.

Two stations were active, including an HF QRP station using a new
mag-loop built by Steve 2E0UEH. Also under test, was a motorised
Raspberry Pi controlled over a 4G network, built by Essex Ham member
Laura M6LHT.

Use of social media to promote get-togethers like this, prove the
power of Twitter and Facebook. Whilst it’s important to plan ahead for
special events and field days, it’s also important to have a little
spontaneous radio fun from time-to-time too.
