NARC Christmas Dinner - BOOK NOW!

I am pleased to publish details and the booking form for our annual Christmas dinner at The Village Inn in Little Melton on Wednesday 18th December; Arrival is from 1845 and Dinner will be served from 19.30.

Dinner comprises a three course meal with varied menu selections to suit all tastes and dietary requirements will cost members and their family or friends just £15 per head, being subsidised by NARC. The only thing you will need to buy on the night is drinks!

 

All details are on the booking form which I have attached to the weekends newsletter and printed versions are also available at CNS meetings. With well over a month to book I ask everyone to please help me arrange this event by making sure they book asap and by the deadline of 27th November at the latest - you can pay by cash at CNS, BACs or Paypal friends and family. If you prefer me to email a booking form to you please drop me an email.  

 

In addition to the dinner we will be holding a secret santa raffle to raise funds for our member nominated charity of the year, Prostate Cancer UK. If you can we ask everyone attending to bring a small wrapped gift which will be raffled after the dinner.

Tom G8XQD - Something for Halloween....
Just been browsing the free online copy of "April 2024 Radcom", and followed up on The Last Word letter - DXing the "paranormal" band.
Googled, and found the article below, and thought it might interest others, especially for our Wednesday 30th October meeting or broadcast!
My favourite;
Ghost in the Machine
One Reddit post tells of a 2-meter operator finding a new repeater. Using the low power setting on his HT, he hit the repeater many miles away with a solid signal. Everything worked well, and several stations were logged, along with the repeater callsign. When he checked the directory, no such repeater existed and all callsigns given were silent keys.
Further research showed there had been a repeater on that exact frequency that had gone off the air more than 30 years ago and the repeater ID matched.
All good fun.

Thanks Tom!

Have a good look at the picture below - what on earth is this or what is it used for  ...?!

You have until 3pm on the next NARC Live to let Tammy and David know...
