Radar presentation and meeting

Brian Richardson VK3CCR gave a very informative presentation about radar covering both ground based and military plane mounted systems. He explained how it works, how interference and unwanted reflections are mitigated and recent developments which have allowed the power to be reduced while improving accuracy.

The club had two new members in attendance for the first time, both are interested in getting their licenses.

Rather than using the projector and portable screen we took advantage of a large TV screen mounted on the wall of the RSL and this configuration worked very well.

Other welcome visitors included Tony Falla VK3KKP from BAREC and Dallas James VK3EB from Shepparton. After the meeting some chose to stay for lunch at a near by cafe.
