This is our regular competition where we show an unusual object, tool, gadget or thing-me-bob sent in by one of the NARC members and you have to guess (or maybe you know!) what it is for...

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

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

Please email your answers with the subject 'What on earth' to David & Tammy This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by 3pm latest on WEDNESDAY OF OUR NEXT NARC LIVE and we will read out all of the entries and tell you what it is!

RSGB REG 1 NATIONAL CW FIELD DAY (NFD)

As you know NARC will be taking part in NFD on the 1^st/2^nd June at DCP Gt Ellingham.   Whilst the antenna will be installed earlier we are looking for assistance from members to erect the station tent/s and equipment on Saturday morning June 1st at 0900 and to help dismantle the station from 1600 BST on Sunday June 2^nd.

Please advise myself Malcolm G3PDH on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you are available to help.

Andy M0NKR is stateside...

I will be active over the pond as W0/M0NKR in Colorado where Laura and I are visiting an old club member Johnny WA5JM.

James M0ZAH...

Please could you circulate details of our Facebook group on VHF/6M.https://www.facebook.com/groups/947897587345823/

We're on a drive to generate more interest in low band VHF 6M FM activity.

Frankie M7EQR...

s you may have seen at the end of NARC Live on Wednesday, during the programme we were told the very sad news that Michael 2E0SZP had passed away earlier that day after a relatively short illness.

Michael has been a member of NARC for many years and took his courses and exams with us and could often be heard on the air or seen at events.

Our sincere sympathies and thoughts with Michael's wife Lee and his family and friends.

We have sent a NARC sympathy cardand will advise details of Michaels funeral when they are known.

As many NARC members will know, every year we host an 2 day event called RadioActive on the first weekend of June held at our place in Gt Ellingham near Attleborough. As well as two active contest stations we host workshops, talks and activities at DCP, not to mention Tammy and my Sunday Roast too! A relaxing informal family welcome event.

But I would really appreciate some help: As our Forum has been delayed until a few days before RadioActive I have lost the opportunity to get your feedback on what you would like to see at RadioActive so I would really appreciate some requests and ideas. The event is particularly ideal for things that do not suit the two hours we have on a Wednesday evening at CNS.

We usually run a construction project (inc etching circuit boards) but unfortunately this year Nick who has done this for several years cannot make it, so could you host a small construction project workshop?

Or do you have a suggestion for something you have made and think others would enjoy - circuit wise or antenna?  

We have a small mechanical workshop at our disposal as well as work benches and test equipment.  

Or maybe a talk...  or film ...

Please get in touch with anything you would like to see at RadioActive 2024!

Thanks. 73
