Club opens arms to the Radio Community for a "build-a-long".

The Isle of Wight Radio Society (IOWRS) have a new construction project that they will support via their website to members and non-members alike.

It is the "Islander-3" HF receiver which is also featured in the recently released RSGB handbook version 15.

The design is suitable both for newcomers and those with plenty of building experience.

Roger G8NHG is both the author of the chapter on HF receivers in the RSGB handbook and also the club secretary of the Isle of Wight Radio Society.

He will provide support via a support group, where also upgrades and extensions from the build-community will be posted. Roger hopes to have a vibrant "maker" community in place in the next few weeks.

So, anyone interested in building a HF receiver with support from the designer and the community should visit http://www.iowrs.org/islander-3
