BVHFG “Demonstration Day” - Sunday May 7th 2023 - VK4CZ - 06-05-2023
Hello everyone,
The date is confirmed for the collaboration between our group and the Redcliffe Club to use their club room facilities for this event. Now confirmed for Sunday May 7th 2023 from 10:00am onwards
As requested by members, we will run this “Show and Tell” session to demonstrate members projects at any stage of development.
This could include just about anything:-
- Finished and working equipment on any band from VHF up.
- Transmitters, antennas, dish mounting solutions etc but could also include accessory items for portable activities, computer systems or even software.
- Anything that could be brought along on the day - There will be room to set up equipment inside or outside as appropriate
- It could also include a slide show or Video of a home installation. An example might be the multi band Periscope Antenna System built by Gary VK4GU or
- The mobile tower constructed by the VK2SRC/p contest group.
Members could bring-in such a presentation on a memory stick which we can play on the big screen at Redcliffe Clubrooms.
Or members who cannot attend in person could easily do the same thing remotely via ZOOM.Or indeed a presentation on any of the above ideas could be e-mailed in and will be presented on your behalf on the day
The intention is that everyone presenting would speak for a few minutes about their project and answer any questions
It is hoped that the proceedings will be run on ZOOM, recorded and then streamed after editing on the club YouTube library.
Just about everybody would have something to show?
A BBQ lunch is planned and the usual range of refreshments will be made available
An open invitation will be made to other amateurs from the area to come and see first hand what the higher bands have to offer.
More information will be made available closer to the date. May 7 please put it in your diary now and plan to come and support the group

You maybe have seen the video clip posted here of the tower - No wonder they won the last VHF Field day!
Come and see the real thing!

G'day Scott, I can't find the video of the super caravan portable station. I wonder if you've still got a link to it, could you please post it here?? And I look forward to the video of the Brisbane VHF Group day tomorrow. There's been quite a good number of microwave videos coming out of VK4 lately.
Thanks :-)
Cheers,

Thanks Scott. The caravan is a pretty flash setup. And there's some nice gear sitting on the tables today as well.
