Also in GB2RS this week…

The RSGB 2019 Convention takes place in Milton Keynes from 11 to 13 October 2019. The Buildathon on Saturday evening is a little different this year. Presented as an alternative to the Gala Dinner, those attending the Buildathon get a hot and 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. For more info, to book your Buildathon place for weekend packages or day tickets, go to rsgb.org/convention. Early Bird discounts have been extended until 1 September 2019.
