ARDF Feedback wanted

In April 2009 the RSGB ARDF Committee organised a seminar at Mugdock Country
Park, Milngavie. An event was subsequently held at the park.

Although we know that some ARDF equipment has been purchased/constructed
there appears to have been no further interest in Scotland since. In an
effort to rekindle any latent interest and stimulate any newcomers I am

individuals who have previously attended the seminar or have expressed an

MORSE NIGHT – 14th October – 19:30 to 21:30

MORSE NIGHT IS NOW THE 14th OCTOBER
PORT SETON RESOURCE CENTRE (Community Centre)
RESOURCES ROOM 1 19:30 to 21:30
 I have changed the October night in the Community Centre from the 21st October to the 14th October. The reason being is that I am not available on the 21st and I have promised that I would put a night together for taking the learning of Morse Code further and I don’t want to let you down.

 The objective of the evening is to gauge the level of interest of learning Morse Code to the level it can successfully be used to make a CW contact, whether it is a standard QSO or Contest QSO

 I hope a few of you will turn up as you have all been mentioning it needs to be done…..

 See you all there then….
