<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Members of the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) will be operating from Galleywood Common (Grid JO01FQ WAB TL70 Postcode CM2 8TR) for much of the day, subject to weather conditions, the station will be active as early as possible.<br>
<br><strong>Steve Hedgecock M0SHQ</strong>, who recently gave a well-received presentation on satellites at the CARS amateur radio skills workshop, will be bringing his amateur satellite station and hopes to operate as many satellite passes as possible.<br>
<br>There'll also be a station operating 40m-10m plus 2m using SSB, CW, PSK and RTTY. The day also coincides with the first-half of the 50MHz Trophy Contest, so there may be some 6m activity if conditions are favourable.<br>
<br>Wind-permitting,<span> </span><strong>Peter Bridgeman G3SUY</strong><span> </span>hopes to fly his impressive Kite Aerial and put out a strong signal on 160m using full legal power.<br><br>Would<span> </span><strong>you</strong><span> </span>like to operate, help set-up the station or just come along for a visit?<br>
<br>This is a great opportunity to use some of your portable kit at an RF-friendly location or operate one of ours with perhaps more power than your M6/2E licence allows. For more details contact Charlie Davy M0PZT email: m0pzt <at> <a href="http://m0pzt.com">m0pzt.com</a><br>
