Activities in 1995          1994  1996

 

On this page you will find illustrated reports of some of our activities during 1995.  These were in addition to our main meetings.

 

National Novice Contest

In mid-September 1995 Poole Radio Society organised the first ever National Novice Contest.

 

This is the first time a national contest has been run exclusively for novices.  38 Novices participated in one way or another, although not all actually submitted logs.  

 

Many participants thoroughly enjoyed taking part and hope there will be more.  Several full licence holders had gone out of their way to assist novices obtain points.  Logging standards for the 2-hour contest were generally very high.

 

To support the contest, we operated on 6m and 70cm from Povington Hill in the Purbeck Hills.

 

 

 

Novice Booklet

At the suggestion of one of our members who had obtained a Novice Licence, a Novice Booklet aimed at recently licensed Novices was prepared, printed and sold at Hamfest.  

Thinking Day on the Air

We ran a Thinking Day on the Air station for the local guides on 18th February 1995.

The annual dinner was held on 20th January 1995 at Woods Edge Restaurant at Sandford near Wareham.
