RSGB 2018 Convention lecture - Improving your Morse skills

RSGB 2018 Convention lecture - Improving your Morse skills

Ray Burlingame-Goff, G4FON.
Nobody would claim that becoming proficient at Morse Code is easy but, once learnt, the results are very satisfying. In his talk Ray discusses the pitfalls of learning Morse and the work of the German psychologist Ludwig Koch which G4FON implemented in his freeware training software. Drawing on his own experience and over ten years of feedback by users of his software, Ray offers practical advice on how you can move from simply working stations with a “5NN TU” reply to effortless casual rag chewing with them.

RSGB 2018 Convention lecture - FT8 Secrets

Neil Smith, G4DBN.
Neil investigates what really matters when you are aiming for the ultimate performance with FT8 and other digital modes. He demonstrates and explains the most common problems which affect the receive and transmit paths on analogue and SDR systems. Using real-world examples of each of the pitfalls, Neil presents practical tools and techniques to help you improve your digimode performance from LF to microwaves.

Roger Balister, G3KMA.
Roger announces several interesting additions to the list of groups qualifying for the IOTA Programme. This forms the first part of the five-yearly review of the list scheduled for 2019. Also Roger explains the way the programme rules developed during the early years, lifting the curtain on the reasoning that drove the decisions.

RSGB Convention 2018 lecture - KH1/KH7Z Baker Island DXpedition

RSGB Convention 2018 lecture - KH1/KH7Z Baker Island DXpedition.

Don Greenbaum, N1DG. Baker Island is an uninhabited atoll about 2,000 miles south-west of Hawaii. Until recently it was one of the top ten most wanted DXCC entities on the planet. Don, one of the team leaders, describes the planning process, setbacks, solutions and outcomes from the July 2018 DXpedition that made around 70,000 QSOs and tested the new FT8 data mode under DXpedition conditions for the first time.
The expedition also commemorated Amelia Earhart, the aviation pioneer, who disappeared near Baker Island in 1937 and the Hawaiian students who attempted to found the settlement of Meyerton on Baker in 1935.
