| FOUR METRE NIGHT | |||||
| Monday's (8.2.10) "Four Metre Night" attracted a good crowd and a great collection of radios and other kit. The band has a growing following, both locally and further afield. The lack of commercially made quipment makes the band more experimental than other VHF bands, with the use of homebrew and converted PMR radios especially popular. Thanks to everyone who bought their 4m kit in to add to the display. de 2E0VPX |  |
