The Making of a Multiband Vertical Antenna – Callum M0MCX, DX Commander

Join us for a very entertaining and informative evening with no other than Callum M0MCX, DX Commander – a YouTube celebrity no less.

Callum will be talking to us about how he designed and made a multiband vertical antenna, explaining how it works, and what kind of performance to expect. A multiband vertical antenna can offer great performance with a very limited footprint, and with the added versatility that it can operate on multiple bands.

Club Night Natter for Bury Radio Society members

We will have an opportunity to just generally get together, on Zoom, with our mugs or glasses at hand, to have a natter. So it’s mainly just for Bury Radio Society for this one. (Warrington ARC are also having a similar evening for their own club on this night too.)

The months ahead will see our world opening up, and with us doing more things. So it will be great for us to hear what we are planning on getting up to.

 

The Magic Band by Don Field G3XTT

Don Field G3XTT will take us through the fascinating properties of the 6m Band which results in people calling it “The Magic Band“.

The propagation properties of this band, as it is nestled between the HF bands and the VHF bands, give remarkable and often unexpected results.

These propagation properties attract enthusiasts who seek out these often unpredictable properties but with incredible results.

Don has also written the book, “The Magic Bands” which covers 6m and 4m. The book is available from the RSGB, Practical Wireless and Amazon.

 

Don Field G3XTT is a well-known person in amateur radio, having been on the board of the RSGB, carried out DXpeditions, and is the editor of Practical Wireless.
