CWT sessions are well attended, but not quite so many local members on this week. The 3 a.m. session this week had myself, Mike G4DYC ane Phil G4LPP doing our best in the poor conditions. Propagation is still not good and we only made a few contacts. We all made our point however!
These short sessions are great for improving your copying ability and you don't have to be a member of CW OPS to take part.

Classes are as follows:

If you saw NARC Live on Wednesday you will know it was all about Ofcom's new ICNIRP regulations which becomes part of our license and a mandatory assessment from this Thursday 18th November 2021 for all amateur licensees to conduct who transmit (any power) on 110MHz or above, which for most of us will be 2 metres and above.

Version 11c of the RSGB calculator has now been released and you can download it and lots of other resources from www.rsgb.org/emf.

If you missed Wednesday nights ICNIRP special you can watch it again here:  https://youtu.be/f5qzIvVqmmo

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) welcome anyone to watch almost of their webinars free of charge and they are really good.

There are many of them produced by local IET groups and one coming up next Thursday which I thought may interest many NARC members is this one on Alan Blumlein, a prolific inventor and engineer who left a legacy of 128 patents by the time he died at just 38 years old, whilst onboard an aircraft during World War II that had been testing ground-breaking radar technology.  In the 150th anniversary year of the IET they are privileged to present a touching account by his surviving elder son, which covers the life and work of his father as well personal reflections.  Many of Alan Blumlein’s patented technologies are the antecedents of the glue that holds together much of our lives, such as in television, broadcasting, and even computers.  Arguably best known of all, Alan Blumlein invented stereo; and woven into the story are now household names such as EMI and the famous Abbey Road studios. 

You can book to watch this webinar at home here but don't leave it long as they have limited free spaces:

I hope it is of interest - search www.theiet.org  for many more
