February Meeting
3-Feb-2026, 7.30-9:30pm
Danbury Village Hall
"QRP"
By Keith G3WGE

For February, Keith G3WGE will be giving a talk about his experiences with QRP.

Keith will talk about is personal journey, about the equipment, and the operating practices necessary to successfully operate QRP.

He will demonstrate that QRP may indeed be a challenge, but it is also a fun and rewarding activity.

He will also show it is an awful lot cheaper than high power QRO operation!

The talk will include slides, video, the QMX+ mini-transceiver by QRP-Labs, Sprat magazines etc.

All welcome - free raffle and refreshments. Donations to charity


March Meeting

By CARS Members

The March meeeting will be a practical skills evening. All are welcome whether you wish to be hands-on, or just socialise...

This month’s topics are based on our popular kits - but please do indicate if other skills such as coax connector assembly or other topics are of interest. For example Danbury currently has a dual band VHF/UHF Antenna that can help on-air demos (whilst we plan to have a newer HF antenna setup in due course)

  • Kit Building: FM Radio, Morse Tutor, IR-Barrier Alarm, Signal lamp/torch
  • Soldering: Practice, PL259 Coax Connector assembly
Quiz - another enjoyable set of teasers to entertain and educate

Sales - Members are welcome to bring Surplus/SK items along for 'recycling'

All welcome - free raffle and refreshments. Donations to charity
