In case you missed the details, here they are again, a "Celebration of Life" service to be held this Monday the 6th January at Franklin Grove, commencing at 10:30 am.
On behalf of the NTARC committee.
Now some “House Keeping” for 2025:
As previously mentioned, an e-mail has gone out to all members regarding membership renewal options. By all means feel free to renew your membership. But importantly if you haven’t received the e-mail and you have checked your Junk folder, then drop an e-mail to the secretary from your preferred e-mail address and I can update any discrepancies.
Remembering back to the Australia Day contest for 2024, Peter VK7KPC, has finally received his 2nd place certificate for Single Operator C/W, one more for the club “brag book”, congratulations Peter.
Last Thursday on the State-Wide Slow Scan TV session, Colin VK7ZCF, broadcast some interesting images. It looks like he has been at it again and has produced more items from his 3D printer. This time there were a few variations of printed containers, each one having individual locations for things like in-line attenuators, dummy loads and RF adaptors. The RF adaptor version sported 40 individual holders and what’s more they were all filled with RF adaptors. Now that sort of visual presentation of adaptors should spark some desire amongst us amateurs. HiHi We can’t wait to see the holders in the flesh, hopefully at the first Club Room Technical Night for the year.
Colin’s SSTV images of his 3D printing will be available on the NTARC Web site under “Blogs” for this broadcast. NTARC Blogs
