RSGB Convention lecture 2017 - M1N-the-Middle, a flexible hardware control add-on for your K3.

James Patterson, M1DST. James has worked on an open source hardware/software project to allow him to take control of his K3 using external add-ons in an interesting and inexpensive way. It is small enough to take to a contest site or DXpedition where you can take your workflow with you.

RSGB Convention lecture 2017 - E51LYC brings Pukapuka Atoll (OC-098) on the Air

RSGB Convention lecture 2017 - E51LYC brings Pukapuka Atoll (OC-098) on the Air.

Last activated more than 22 years ago, this rare IOTA group was in demand by 92% of the IOTA members. The temperature oscillated between 33C during the day and 28C, sometimes higher, with a humidity of 80-90%. Using an Icom IC-7000 with 100W and a multi-band vertical, a total of 5631 QSOs were logged with 3310 stations in 79 DXCCs. About 76% of all contacts were in CW, on all bands from 10 to 40 m, with the rest in SSB.

RSGB Convention lecture 2017 - SDR: The station of the future

RSGB Convention lecture 2017 - SDR: The station of the future.

Software Defined Radio is not new but improvements in design and cost reductions mean that it is rapidly becoming mainstream technology for discerning radio amateurs. SDR is as much a disruptive technology as were the advent of semiconductors or synthesisers. It is said that in five years it will no longer be possible to buy a new radio that is not SDR. We look at what SDR offers us as radio amateurs and what our stations might look like in a few years' time.

When is it? What can we expect? How can we make the most of the HF bands for the next few years as we approach and pass sunspot minimum?

RSGB Convention 2017 lecture - World Radiosport Team Championship 2018

Dave Lawley, G4BUO WRTC takes place once every four years and puts contesters on the fabled 'level playing field' to find the very best radio contesters in the world. Dave has attended five previous WRTC events, competing three times on behalf of the UK and serving as on-site referee in the other two.

RSGB Convention 2017 lecture - SO2R Contesting Techniques

RSGB Convention 2017 lecture - SO2R Contesting Techniques

Mark Haynes, M0DXR Single Operator Contesting can be great fun and many contesters like to improve on their scores year on year and, if possible, score higher than their competition. Having two radios at your disposal can introduce complications and be simply ‘too much’ to handle – but it can also provide the foundations for achieving excellent results. With many years of SO2R experience, Mark provides detail on how to make this approach as productive as possible by adapting your station and operating techniques.
