A REPORT ON THE UK MICROWAVE GROUP MICROWAVE ROUND TABLE MEETING HELD AT THE RUTHERFORD APPLETON LABORATORIES, APRIL 2004 |
Over 60 UK microwavers attended the UKuG Microwave Round Table meeting at RAL this April. The venue, kindly provided by Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, South West of Oxford,and organised by Dr.Mike Willis, G0MJW and others at the establishment, has been the scene of many a good meeting in the past.
Murray, G6JYB(shown here in the striped shirt)welcomes Dave Bowman, G0MRF,a well-known UK amateur who operates from lightwaves down to VLF! He had just returned from the highly successful 3B9C Rodrigues Island Dxpedition.
Every UK Microwave meeting has a Bring 'n Buy or Swap meet. RAL is no exception.
Shown here is just one of the many tables laden with microwave "goodies", including some very nice millimetric stuff.
Much of the fun of these meetings is socialising with other amateur microwavers. Shown here is John, G8ACE (left) discussing his latest high stability oscillator and multiplier designs with Andy, G4JNT (in the logoed T-shirt). Andy is himself quite an exponent of oscillator stability. When these two get together you can be certain they are discussing how many parts in "10 to the whatever" their latest brainchild is capable of!
In the background by the door you can see Ian, G4FUF, talking to his friend Robin, G8APZ. On the extreme left hand side of the photo is Neil, G4LDR, a keen orienteer in addition to his microwave interests.
