<H1>VHF & Up at the RSGB Convention </H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>For the second year, a VHF and UP stream is incorporated
into the RSGB Convention. As usual there are some very interesting talks
included, ranging from VHF antennas to UHF DXing and Contesting as well as
Microwave contesting.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>There will also be talks on Software Defined Radios in a
VHF context and an update into the research in making Sporadic-E predictable.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>For those interested in home brew there will be a talk on
how to build solid state high power amplifiers at VHF.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>In a departure from these more usual VHF talks, subjects
like how the Earth's Magnetic Field affects propagation and CMEs will be on the
programme. Look out for a fascinating talk on the research being undertaken to
understand the Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun, which has clear impact on
VHF, particularly with regard to the auroral curtain. It is hoped that a talk on
how reception of space probes is enabled at very considerable distance at
microwave will also be included in the programme.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Final details of the programme and speakers will be
available on the website at </FONT><A href="http://www.rsgb.org/rsgbconvention/"
target=_blank><FONT face=Tahoma>www.rsgb.org/rsgbconvention/</FONT></A><FONT
face=Tahoma> as they are finalised.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>You will also find booking details whether you plan to stay
for the weekend or just visit for a day.</FONT> </P></BODY></HTML>
