Ham Goodies!
Martin G7UGB has had a really good experience of price and service buying various components from this small UK company, including Baluns and Ferrites, and would like to share it with other members. There might also be an opportunity to make further savings by sharing postage or bulk club buys.

More on 3D Printing with Bambu Labs equipment…
Update from Martin G7UGB on 24.1.25
“After my 3D printing session I did say that another good printer was from the Bambu Labs company, and they are excellent machines but if you look on the internet recently it states that they have now put firmware and updates on their machines that tie you into their servers and software, this hasn’t gone down well with the printing community so I don’t know if it is possible to perhaps warn anyone who has thought about one of their printers since my talk. I think they should wait a bit and see how it goes as they are not getting very good publicity at the moment…”

Ian M7VDX needs some help please…
Ian is losing his sight and would like someone to come and help him setup his radios and computers – he lives in Norwich (see QRZ).
He has an FT8900, Kenwood 480SAT, Anytone 779 and uses Windows for data modes etc, but is open to the idea of buying different equipment if they might be easier for him to use with his failing sight. He already has a good array of working antennas.
If you feel you could help Ian get set up to help him with his hobby as his sight is failing please email either Ian direct: m7vdx@outlook.com
or contact David G7URP or Gordon G3PXT who can assist contact.
Thank you.
