This a fantastic opportunity to get your radio’s tested by professional test gear. John MM0JXI over the years has found a few faulty radio’s!!!! It is also a good chance to give your radio’s an annual MOT. Hope you make an effort to attend… It really is a worthwhile event I can assure you.

The club has been going to Tiree since 1998 to take part in the RSGB IOTA Contest. Achieving 3rd in the DXpedition Section is a massive achievement for all the hard work that has gone in over the years.
It is amazing teamwork putting the station together, setting out our operating tactics then getting this result.
As well as the contest we have had loads of fun and have made lots of friends on the Island. The hospitality they have given us over the years is second to none.
Roll on this year…………………

Cockenzie & Port Seton Amateur Radio Club, in East Lothian has been awarded £500 by the BT Community Champions award scheme thanks to the voluntary work of John Innes, a BT employee.
Run by the BT Volunteering team, BT Community Champions awards BT people with funding on behalf of local community groups, charities and organisations where they work on a voluntary basis.
Following the second review in 2010/11, funding has been allocated to a variety of groups who demonstrated how the award would make a difference to their group and benefit their local community. Cockenzie & Port Seton Amateur Radio Club is one of hundreds that applied for an award during review two of the scheme and impressed judges with how they would use their grant.
EMF website.... Unbelievable. What a farce. I'd like to see all interested licensees bombard OfCom with changes to their circumstances on a regular basis, to the point that the workload of administering this becomes unmanageable. Unfortunately I cant see this happening. Pardon me for being thick, but what is this relating to? From what I can determine, is we need to confirm to legislation on interference?
Perhaps a good subject for a Friday night chat from Uncle Bob BEM This is what happens when you platform anti-science woo. What an absolute heap of BS. Copy of spreadsheet on emf page - looks like I need to get tower up higher 2m I need 60m separation from friends and family - bugger for portable when it comes back lots of warning tape appropriate distance from ant. I have no clue what I'm supposed to do but if members of the public are within 6.3m of my radiation source they are trespassing and or 2/3 of the way up my mast 🤣 More crap to be chucked in the "snowflake file" (bin) 11-99W the spreadsheet says 3.18m for 15MHz. My property is 6.3m wide and I'm not allowed a mast or anything. Have written to RSGB for advice on whether to make a representation, and for clarification on exactly what measurements are required. Their guidance actually contradicts the policy - policy says if your licence permits >10W tx then you must meet the requirements... guidance says you can avoid the requirements by not transmitting more than 10W... so perhaps they will allow me a magloop or something, as long as I orient it N-S. Also, we'll all be limited to about 10W on 70cm and 2m in the car, and unable to use HF more than 10W (assuming that 10W guidance remains in place) since most cars are only 2m wide - and then you need to make sure the antenna is in the middle... Bums! Stinky dog bums! As far as I can see, if you declare you’re using low power, you are exempt? Is that correct? If all it takes is to declare that you're running low power, I'll just do that.
