On the 8th May we had a speaker attending, Paul Gacek W6PNG/M0SNA to talk about his radio activities, Wilderness Activations in Western USA, SOTA activation and the 2016 ARRL National Parks event. Examples of some of his material is on his blog nomadic.blog
Many thanks for an interesting journey across the Western USA and a good mixture of radio, geography, history and encounters with deadly animals!
Also some good information about SOTA that hopefully will encourage some members either to go up local hills to activate them, or to assist SOTA participants to get the contacts they need for activation. More SOTA information here: sota.org.uk
Many thanks to the members who attended for Paul’s talk.
The 2018 Annual Open Day and Rally was held on Sunday the 21st of October 2018
Another very successful rally.
Many thanks to the Traders for filling the hall with their goods, the club members who helped out on the day with setting up and packing up of traders goods, manning the doors and the Bring & Buy stall, and to the visitors who came from far and wide to our open day.

I have migrated the existing pages from the old site to WordPress so that it’s easier to update and add photos. There may be formatting quirks and photos still to be labelled, but if there are any big problems loading pages then let me know by emailing michael at askewonline.co.uk
