On this page you will find illustrated reports of some of our activities during 1982.
Over the weekend of 4th and 5th September we participated in hf ssb field day from a tent in a field at Lytchett Matravers using the callsign G3ZPR/P. Equipment used included a Yaesu FT560 transceiver, a 3-element beam and a ‘V’ beam antenna together with dipoles for 40m and 80m. A total of 313 stations were worked. Operation was for most for the 24-hours of the contest.

42 people braved a wet evening to attend a skittles match during the summer.
33 people attended the popular Chicken and Apple Pie Supper held in July. Again the event was not helped by inclement weather.
During April an application was made for the club callsign.
A regular net on 10m operated on Wednesday evenings.
The March 1982 meeting featured a construction contest. Entrants had to remove or cover up anything which could identify who had build their entries. Howard Cunningham G8FG judged.
