RSGB 2020 Convention online – latest info

With the COVID-19 pandemic changing the face of rallies and conventions around the world, the RSGB 2020 Convention is going online.

You will be able to enjoy some excellent lectures.

On Saturday, 10 October 2020, the RSGB will be putting two streams online for everyone to enjoy.

The first stream is An introduction to… and the second stream is Learn more about….

You can find more information at rsgb.org/convention.

The first two lectures are The Small Station by Joe Chester, M1MWD, and QRO Magnetic Loop Antennas with Rael Paster, M0RTP.

In The Small Station, Joe M1MWD says that most of us don’t have the good fortune to own several acres of land on which to erect tall towers for beam antennas and have just one or two transceivers and an ATU on the corner of a table; but there is lots of fun to be had operating even the most modest radio station, and he’ll look at how to get the best from limited equipment, or space.

In QRO Magnetic Loop Antennas, Rael, M0RTP, says that a transmitting magnetic loop antenna offers the amateur a compelling option for getting on the air and having access to all the HF bands when restricted for size and height of the antenna system at your QTH.

He will cover DIY construction tips, tricks and traps for QRO operation and will provide an overview on how to remotely tune a magnetic loop.
