Buildathon at RSGB Convention 2019

The Buildathon on Saturday evening is a little different. Presented as an alternative to the Gala Dinner, those attending the Buildathon get a hot & cold buffet and an evening of surface mount construction. The event includes the food and also the SMD Sudden 2, a 40m direct conversion receiver made and supplied by Kanga Products UK. All necessary equipment will be provided and there’s a helpful team of volunteers to assist you through the build.

The RSGB Convention takes place in Milton Keynes from the 11th to the 13th of October 2019.

RSGB 2019 Convention Lectures Annoucments

The RSGB 2019 Convention takes place in Milton Keynes from 11 to 13 October 2019.

Two of the interesting lectures over the weekend will be Don Field, G3XTT talking about Guest Operating—being part of a multi-operator contest or DXpedition effort can be fun, it’s a great learning experience and he has been involved in many such operations.

Tony Canning, G2NF will be speaking on a subject very close to many radio amateurs’ hearts Urban QRM; What can I do?
