Rund 10.000 Menschen säumten am 4. November 1993 die Hamelner Osterstraße: Die Queen war in der Stadt! Elizabeth II. stattete den hier stationierten britischen Soldaten einen Besuch ab. In der neuen Folge von „Der Tag, an dem …“ werfen Claudia Höflich und Frank Henke einen Blick aufs Menü beim Gala-Dinner, erinnern an Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, Kleidungsvorschriften und militärische Vorführungen an der Weser. Und nicht nur das: Sie erklären, wie die britischen Soldaten eigentlich nach Hameln kamen, und sprechen über den Terror der IRA, die auch in Hameln bereits einen Anschlag verübt hatte.

Usually, when guests on this show discuss forwards, futures and options, we're talking about financial derivatives products. But for this episode, we are shifting gears to spread the word about an organization that is helping young people around the world look forward to brighter futures with more options.Futures for Kids is a charitable foundation that raises funds to support the lives of disadvantaged children and young people. Emma Davey is the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Futures for Kids and if her name is familiar to you, that's because before her recent retirement, Emma was the Chief Commercial Officer at the Futures Industry Association (FIA). Emma is here to tell us more about the history of Future for Kids and share details about the important work the organization does around the world. She is also here to help promote a black-tie Gala Dinner to benefit Futures For Kids that the FIA is hosting at the conclusion of the International Derivatives Expo in London.More resourcesFutures For KidsThe Mission (Im)Possible Kilt ChallengeInternational Derivatives Expo Sign up for Modern Money SmartBrief

GB2RS News Sunday the 29th of September   The news headlines: There is still time to book tickets for the RSGB 2024 Convention The RSGB is helping to promote JOTA activities in October The RSGB has responded to a recent Ofcom Consultation concerning the 2.3GHz band   With just two weeks until the RSGB Convention, this year's event is the place to go if you are interested in anything and everything to do with amateur radio. There will be a host of expert speakers presenting on topics ranging from Sporadic-E and how to use AI to write amateur radio applications, to panel debates on amateur radio modes and presentations on inspiring the next generation of radio amateurs. The presentation summaries and speaker biographies are now available on the RSGB speaker page. AMSAT-UK has started to release news of its presentations too and you can see those on the RSGB's Convention programme. There really is something for everyone. If you haven't already bought your ticket, be sure to secure it by Monday the 7th of October when the online booking process will close. Buying tickets before the event will save you up to £5 off the usual 'on the day' ticket prices. Due to demand, the RSGB has also arranged an extra introduction to microcontroller programming workshop that will take place on the Sunday morning. There are still some tickets available for Saturday's Gala Dinner too. To book your tickets for any part of the weekend or to find out more about the programme go to rsgb.org/convention Jamboree on the Air, also known as JOTA, is taking place between the 18th and 20th of October. The event promotes friendship and global citizenship and is a brilliant celebration of amateur radio among the groups within the Scout Association. Some groups have already shared details of activities that will be taking place over the weekend and the RSGB plans to compile and share a list of these on its comms channels. If you are part of a Scouting group and are planning to get involved with JOTA then please get in touch via comms@rsgb.org.uk with a summary of your station name, callsign and any other relevant information. The RSGB has responded to a recent Ofcom Consultation which would see new users sharing spectrum within the 2.3GHz amateur band. Whilst the new devices may be limited to indoor use, the RSGB has taken the opportunity to highlight concerns regarding the weak signal 2320MHz segment. In addition, the RSGB has also indicated its wish to review the current restrictions that apply to this band that date back to 2013, when it was subject to Public Sector Spectrum Release. The response and background information can be found in the Spectrum Forum web pages at rsgb.org/spectrum-forum The October edition of RadCom includes an article about the very first two-way radio communication between the UK and New Zealand, something that Sir Edward Appleton, radio physicist and Nobel laureate, later described as “probably the most dramatic moment in the history of the development of the short waves.” The contact was between two radio amateurs, one in Mill Hill School, London and the other on a sheep farm in New Zealand. Centenary celebrations will be taking place in New Zealand and at Mill Hill School, and special event callsigns will be active from today until late October. GB2NZ and ZM100DX will be active each day during that period and, for the week of the centenary, the near-actual callsigns used in 1924, G2SZ and ZL4AA, will be active from the 14th to the 20th of October. A commemorative certificate will be available for those who make contacts with the event stations. For more information on the Goyder-Bell award, and to find out more about the centenary celebrations, go to gb2nz.com Lots of amateur radio stations are on the air this weekend for the Railways on the Air event. The occasion marks the anniversary of the first steam-powered passenger railway journey which took place on the 27th of September 1825. The first passenger train ran on a line in the North East of England from Darlington to Stockton. Activity will be centred around 3.65, 7.15 and 14.25MHz. For more information visit rota.barac.org.uk The September 2024 issue of RadCom Basics is now available on the RSGB website for members to read. RadCom Basics is aimed at new licensees or anyone who enjoys reading about the fundamental principles behind the many facets of amateur radio. This issue includes articles on antenna building, home construction and getting fit with amateur radio. If you haven't already, you can subscribe to receive updates about RadCom Basics via the RSGB Membership Portal. RSGB members can read RadCom Basics by going to rsgb.org/radcom-basics The September 2024 issue of RadCom Plus, the online magazine for the more technically minded radio amateur, has been published. The first article was written by RSGB Chair Stewart Bryant, G3YSX, and is an introduction to using AI to write computer software. Next, is a contribution from Tony Preedy, G3LNP about how to make an efficient magnetic loop antenna. The third article, by Andy Talbot, G4JNT dives into the interesting, but perhaps unfamiliar, mathematics behind the encoding algorithms used in digital data programs which we all use. The final article is the fourth in the continuing series by Barry Chambers, G8AGN about his pioneering experiments at 30THz. RSGB Members can read past and present issues of RadCom Plus via rsgb.org/radcom-plus Don't forget to listen out for all the 145 Alive activity which is taking place today, Sunday the 29th. Operators will be active from 1pm to 4pm and there will be nets operating in most Maidenhead Squares across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Newly assigned AR 3835 in the southeast quadrant is the main source and the event looks to have thrown a stream of plasma into space. The latest model suggested a possible passage near our planet by the 25th and it looks like the prediction was correct. The Space Weather Prediction Centre issued a G1 geomagnetic storm watch and visible aurora may be likely at very high latitudes. Expect maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs for short, to decline if the Kp index is above 4 or 5. Other than a large number of C-class solar flares in the past five days, this was the biggest eruptive event to occur. The solar flux index had declined to 172 on Wednesday the 25th but is unlikely to decrease much further. Note that nearly all the sunspots are in the Sun's southern hemisphere at the moment. Meanwhile, daytime MUFs over a 3,000km path are now consistently over 28MHz under quiet geomagnetic conditions. This is good news for fans of the 10m band. Night time MUFs over 3,000km are around 14 to 16MHz, so it looks like we may soon lose the 24-hour DX openings on the 20m band, which are prevalent in the summer months. Increasing solar proton flux at the moment means paths over the Arctic Circle may be compromised. Daytime critical frequencies remain over 8MHz and often reach nearly 11MHz, so NVIS communications around the UK on the 40m band remain commonplace but may disappear later in the evening. NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will increase next week but may not reach the 200s. Keep an eye on solarham.com  for daily updates.   And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The present run of unsettled weather has become firmly established and, although many parts of the country have not seen the torrential rain and flooding of last week, there will be some rain at times in most parts of the country during the first week of October. There are a couple of brief periods in the models when a weak ridge of high pressure is due to cross southern areas, but these are not seen as great for Tropo. The week beginning Monday the 30th of September sees at least two major lows pass close to northern Britain. One occurs as this weekend draws to a close and there may be another one later in the week. These types of changeable patterns are notorious for problems with detailed predictions beyond a few days, although the general weather type is well forecast. Just a reminder that strong wind events at the end of a long summer can be a big shock to antennas, so now is a very good time to check that all is well in the guying department. Having discounted Tropo as an option, the obvious choice will be rain scatter on the GHz bands, but some of these events may produce very fast-moving echo sources. So, it could be quite a challenge although last week saw plenty of good rain scatter conditions. Meteor scatter is again largely dependent upon random meteors with just a couple of lesser showers, the Kappa Leonids and Sextantids, which see out the end of September. The auroral situation continues to provide some excitement, and the autumn months are a good time of the year for such things. For EME operators, Moon declination is still positive until Tuesday evening, so Moon visibility windows are shortening. Path losses are high with apogee next Wednesday the 2nd of October. Thursday the 3rd sees near-eclipse conditions when the Sun and Moon are close in the sky meaning high noise with wider beam width antennas. 144MHz sky noise is, in general, low for the rest of the week. And that's all from the propagation team this week

The upcoming AVEA (Association of Visitor Experiences and Attractions) Conference planned for October 13th to 15th in Kilkenny will see the founder of ProfileTree and AI expert Ciaran Connelly take to the stage to showcase how to effectively use AI on a shoestring to maximise marketing efforts. Ciaran has grown ProfileTree from a small team of 2 into a strong team of 24. Online he creates videos and training, which are delivered through YouTube and various websites. He continues to drive innovation in the digital marketing landscape through the adoption of AI tools in business practices and designs, develops and supports optimised websites and e-commerce sites for a large number of companies from the USA to Australia. At the conference, he will share his expertise in using AI to get the most for your marketing efforts and team productivity. CEO of AVEA Catherine Flanagan says, "We are very excited to welcome Ciaran to the conference. He works at the cutting edge of AI and is up to speed on what technology is evolving daily. He will demystify AI and share insights into some of the best tools for the best results. Tourism and hospitality are all about the personal touch, and AI can be a powerful and positive behind-the-scenes tool that enables us to spend more time connecting and engaging with the visitor." Ciaran says, "In any business, we are always looking for ways to improve what we do. A lot of tasks are robotic and repetitive, and by effectively using AI we can remove some of these more basic tasks that we no longer need to do and allow business team members to focus on the higher-level strategic parts of the business. "The speed of AI adoption since November 2022 is phenomenal. It is clear AI is the future, no matter what happens next - it will be a bigger part of everyone's life. One of the biggest challenges I see is getting staff onboard with using AI. "We are all naturally resistant to changing how we work; for example, when you ask a team of writers to adopt ChatGPT, they initially think that they are sacrificing part of their creativity but AI is a tool for facilitating creativity and content writing, instead of staring at a blank screen or putting hours into research for an article, there is a tool that could help do all of that a lot quicker. "My delivery at the upcoming conference is to arm the visitor attraction industry with some key knowledge and tools to focus their marketing efforts and reap the most reward by doing so." Over 200 delegates will gather in Kilkenny at the Ormonde Hotel for the 7th annual AVEA conference. In a bid to tackle tourism visitor numbers and issues head-on and work towards providing the best experience for visitors, the industry will come together. The owners and operators of Ireland's leading visitor attractions will gather to discuss how the industry can drive further visitor numbers and future-proof their businesses under the theme of 'Innovation - Agility - Inclusion'. A conference's leadership panel discussion will include Tourism Ireland CEO Alice Mansergh, Failte Ireland's Jenny De Saulle, Chief Executive at Irish Tourism Industry Confederation Eoghan O' Mara Walsh, CEO at Tourism Northern Ireland John McGrillen. In addition to the leadership panel, the international speakers include Laura Magee, CEO of Thoroughbred Country, Nik Wyness, Head of Marketing, the Tank Museum, Dorset, Alison Bowyer, Executive Director, Kids in Museums, Eleanore Hutch and Kat Riddell, Diageo Brand Homes, Sally Booth and Olivia Hewley from VocalEyes, Michael Faley, Sector Lead for Travel, Google, Gary Farrington, Senior Partner Manager EMEA, Expedia Group, Rachel Kuhn, Senior Director, BOP Consulting and Anne O'Donoghue, CEO, Irish Heritage Trust. A highlight of the conference is sure to be the Gala Dinner at St Canice's Cathedral, which expects to welcome over 150 of Ireland's tourism leaders. St Canice's will be showcasing the illuminated Book of Ossory, which is on display in its new home for th...

GB2RS News Sunday the 22nd of September The news headlines: The RSGB Convention is just three weeks away The RSGB has announced that routine bookings for paper exams will cease Take advantage of group activity opportunities at the RSGB National Radio Centre The RSGB Convention is just three weeks away and there is a fantastic programme planned. Whatever your amateur radio interests or experience there will be something for you. In addition to the presentations, you could take part in a workshop to learn more about microcontroller programming – spaces are limited so make sure you book soon if you want to be part of that event. There will also be an EMF and EMC Clinic, contest forums and a chance to find out more about a wide range of amateur radio special interest groups. The social side of the Convention is important too, whether you're catching up with friends over coffee or enjoying the Gala Dinner on Saturday evening. Day or weekend tickets for the Convention are still cheaper if you buy in advance rather than on the door, and the deadline for advance tickets is Monday the 7th of October. To find out more about the programme, the speakers and to book your tickets, go to the RSGB Convention web pages at rsgb.org/convention The RSGB has announced that from the 29th of November it will stop taking routine bookings for paper exams. Currently 97% of amateur radio licence examinations are taken online using the TestReach platform, either at home under remote supervision or in a club setting. Following the implementation of Syllabus v1.6 on the 1st of September 2024, the new examination question bank will only be maintained online. Generating paper exams will involve significant additional work for the RSGB Examinations Department, with the associated costs. You will be able to apply for a paper exam on the grounds of special educational needs in the same way that you can currently request special requirements such as extra time or a reader. To do that you need to email the Exams Department via exams@rsgb.org.uk  To read the full details of the changes, including the three important dates you need to know, please go to the RSGB website at rsgb.org  and search for ‘Exam Announcements'. Do you work with young people at a school, or perhaps with a youth group such as the Scouts, Guides or Cadets? Are you looking for an activity that provides hands-on learning opportunities for them? The RSGB National Radio Centre currently has availability for two private evening visits in December as part of the Society's activities for Youngsters on the Air month, or YOTA month as it is often called. Sessions typically last two hours and include an introduction to amateur radio, before the youngsters are split into smaller groups to complete a variety of activities. These can include Morse code, VHF communication using handhelds, shortwave radio communication and satellite communication. The group size is limited to a maximum of 12, and there must be one adult accompanying every four students. If you'd like to find out more about this unique learning opportunity, email the RSGB National Radio Centre Coordinator Martyn Baker, G0GMB via nrc.support@rsgb.org.uk The next Bletchley Park 1940s weekend is taking place at the moment. If you are visiting for the event, make sure you drop into the RSGB National Radio Centre where you'll be able to see a number of World War Two receivers on display.

You can access this fantastic offer by logging into the RSGB membership portal via rsgb.org/members  and selecting ‘Visit Bletchley Park'. Don't forget that National Hamfest 2024 is coming up on the 27th and 28th of September and promises to be an unforgettable celebration of all things amateur radio. As always, the traders and manufacturers are lining up to bring you the best in amateur radio equipment and accessories. Many exhibitors will be offering exclusive deals, making it the perfect time to upgrade your gear or add new items to your shack. For more information and to purchase your tickets, visit nationalhamfest.org.uk  Railways on the Air weekend usually takes place on the weekend closest to the 27th of September. This date celebrates the anniversary of the first steam-powered passenger railway journey which took place on the 27th of September 1825. The first passenger train ran on a line in the North East of England from Darlington to Stockton. Bishop Auckland Amateur Radio Club coordinates the event and this year it will take place over the weekend of the 28th and 29th of September. For more information visit rota.barac.org.uk The next event in the popular 145 Alive series takes place on Sunday the 29th of September. The event will run from 1 pm to 4 pm and there will be nets operating in most Maidenhead Squares across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. To take part in the event, which is designed to promote FM activity on the 2m band, all you need to do is call in and make contact with others. The organisers are looking for more net controllers. For more information contact Mark Savage, M0XIC via the 145 Alive Facebook page. On Monday the 7th of October the RSGB's Tonight@8 live webinar will be with Ian White, GM3SEK who will give a presentation entitled ‘Aircraft Scatter, the Hitch-Hikers Guide'. Aircraft scatter is about bouncing VHF and UHF radio signals off high-flying aircraft – effectively ‘hitching a ride' with someone else's plane to extend your everyday working range up to 800km. For example, if you are one of the hundreds who get involved in the monthly UK Activity Contests on the 2m, 70cm and 23cm bands, you will already be using aircraft scatter routinely and it will be responsible for some of your best QSOs. So how does aircraft scatter work? And if it's so useful, why haven't we heard more about it? Join the webinar live at 8pm on the RSGB YouTube channel or special BATC channel. Find out more about this and other webinars on the RSGB website via rsgb.org/webinars Please send details of all your news and events to radcom@rsgb.org.uk  The deadline for submissions is 10 am on Thursdays before the Sunday broadcast each week And now for details of rallies and events Weston super Mare Radio Society Radio and Electronics Rally is taking place today, the 22nd.

Using all modes on 5.7 and 10GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.  Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 19th of September 2024 It was a topsy-turvy time for HF propagation last week with a declining solar flux index and geomagnetic disturbances thanks to coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, from the Sun. The solar flux index declined to the mid-160s, and the Kp index had a couple of excursions to more than 7. These were due to CMEs and the second, which occurred on Tuesday the 17th, was associated with the X4.5 solar flare on Saturday the 14th. Luckily, it was 0300UTC when the CME hit the Earth, so only die-hard UK DXers were affected. With a G4 geomagnetic storm raging, the maximum useable frequency over a 3,000km path fell to less than 6MHz, but did manage to recover to 8.45MHz by dawn. The rest of Tuesday was subdued with the maximum useable frequency never really getting above 21MHz. This is why the advice is often to avoid DXing when the Kp index climbs high, as the upper HF bands will likely be closed. By comparison, on Thursday the 19th the Kp index was 2.67 and the maximum useable frequency over 3,000km was above 28MHz again. NOAA puts the risk of another X-class flare at 10%, and an M-class event at 55%. So, we are not out of the woods yet. Next week, the Space Weather Prediction Centre says the solar flux index may decline slightly but could then rise to be in the 232 to 240 range. Geomagnetic storming is predicted for the 26th to the 29th, when the Kp index could rise to 5. Meanwhile, autumnal HF conditions should soon be kicking in with better propagation to North America. If the solar flux stays high, we can expect excellent 28MHz propagation, perhaps to the mid-west and Pacific states. North-South HF paths, such as the UK to South Africa and South America, should also be good around the equinox period. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The last week of Tropo gave us good conditions across the North Sea and up and down the country on the VHF and UHF bands.  It is very likely that there will be a big change of weather type over this weekend, ending today the 22nd, to a much more unsettled pattern with low pressure dominating during the coming week. In fact, there will be a sequence of lows, fronts and showery interludes to set the template for next week. This means that rain scatter is a good candidate for propagation on the GHz bands, which could be useful on the evening of Tuesday the 24th during the SHF UK Activity Contest. Meanwhile, tropo takes a back seat for a while. The solar activity continues to be of interest and, again, the message is to monitor the Kp index to keep one step ahead of events in case any aurora spring up. Meteor scatter is mainly down to random activity, although the daytime Sextantids peaks on Friday the 27th of September, but with a low zenith hourly rate of 5. For EME operators, Moon declination is positive and rising, reaching +29 degrees next Tuesday, so Moon visibility windows will continue to lengthen. Path losses are increasing as we passed perigee last week. 144MHz sky noise is moderate, dropping back to low next Thursday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

GB2RS News Sunday the 15th of September The news headlines: The RSGB is looking for its next Youth Champion Success for an RSGB member at the IARU ARDF Championship Today is the last chance to book early bird tickets for the RSGB Convention The RSGB is looking for its next volunteer Youth Champion.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 12th of September 2024 Last week showed that HF conditions are improving as we head into the autumn. With a solar flux index still above 200, there was plenty of DX available to work. CDXC members reported working VP6WR on the Pitcairn Islands, KH8T on American Samoa and 3D2USU on Fiji, which is not a bad catch for early September. A little closer to home, 9A168TESLA in Croatia has been popping up for short periods celebrating the 168th anniversary of the birthday of electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla. Watch DX Summit closely for operating times. The daylight maximum useable frequency, or MUF, over 3,000 kilometres remains above 28MHz on the whole, although a raised Kp index tends to reduce this. Geomagnetic conditions remained relatively calm with the Kp index below 3 all week. That changed on Thursday the 12th as material from a coronal mass ejection, or CME passed the ACE spacecraft in the early hours. The solar wind speed increased to more than 500 kilometres per second and the Bz swung south. On Thursday the 12th, the Kp index was 5 and the Met Office Space Weather department was forecasting potentially unsettled conditions for this weekend, ending today the 15th. At the same time an X-class flare occurred, with lowered MUFs due to increased D-layer absorption. Two large coronal holes on the Sun's surface are also now Earth-facing and threaten to add to the solar wind this weekend. According to NOAA's predictions, the solar flux index should stay in the 210 to 225 range next week, although a large number of spots are about to rotate off the Sun's visible disk. This may be compensated by an active region that's about to rotate into view. This has been emitting C-Class and lower-level M-flares and could potentially be the same region that produced several energetic eruptions off the far side of the Sun over the past week. Time will tell. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The heavy showers at the end of last week produced some good rain scatter, but no QSOs in the UK were noted due to the showers not coinciding with GHz contests and few suitable home stations were active to take advantage of them. After a gradual build-up of pressure over this weekend, ending the 15th, high pressure is suggested by most models during the coming week. However, there is some uncertainty about the position of the high.   Currently, models are favouring the north of Britain and this means that in the south, although still on the edge of high pressure, there could be a brisk northeasterly breeze, which may weaken the inversion prospects. It's not clear if the Tropo will be functioning in time for the 70MHz Affiliated Societies Contest today, the 15th, but should be helpful for the 1.3GHz UK Activity Contest on Tuesday the 17th and the 70MHz UK Activity Contest on Thursday the 19th. Solar conditions are still likely to offer the chance of the occasional elevated Kp index, which is a good sign of possible aurora. It will be interesting to see how things evolve this weekend, ending the 15th, as a series of expected CMEs are due to reach Earth.  The amateur bands between 10m and 2m are the ones to check as well as looking out for ‘watery' sounding signals on the HF bands. Remember it doesn't have to be dark for radio aurora, so don't wait for dusk before checking. Meteor scatter is mainly down to random activity in the coming week. However, with the September Epsilon Perseids stream still active until the 21st, having peaked on the 9th, conditions may be slightly enhanced. For EME operators, Moon declination is negative but rising and going positive again on Wednesday the 18th. Moon visibility windows will continue to rise while path losses decrease as we approach perigee on Wednesday the 18th. 144MHz sky noise is moderate for the whole of next week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Kim Godwin is out as president of ABC News. She is the first African American woman to hold this position. But she's been under fire for a while now. Back in February, ABC ushered in a new era under Debra O'Connell. O'Connell is a singer, seasoned veteran of the Disney milieu, and she's now been installed as the overseer of the parent company's new syndicate. In the meantime, the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is taking a stand about this. They are not happy. Kim Godwin has issued a statement saying she has decided to retire from broadcast journalism. By the way, Kim is the executive behind the firing of T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach over their affair.

News and views aplenty in this month's Omnibus, good, bad and damn frightening. Elin McCoy finds there is great wine, food and art at Château La Coste in Provence (currently showing 85 of Damien Hirst's works), reviews the new releases from Champagne Bollinger, and discusses the new Mouton Cadet range designed for Gen Z with Philippe Sereys de Rothschild. Over in Macau Jane Anson judges the new Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards and reveals the winner. It's April so inevitably John Stimpfig and Sarah Kemp are talking about the Bordeaux En Primeur campaign, with the perennial question, what price will the châteaux release at. The good news is that the tariffs have been lifted on Australian wine into China and the Old Vine Conference has announced their Hero awards. The frightening news is that a report has come out predicting 29% of vineyards will not be able to produce premium wine by the end of the century. Great news for charity though, John Stimpfig is back on his bike to raise money for the Hospitality Industry, a 200km bike ride across Burgundy, but before then there is a Gala Dinner in London. Listen in to hear all about it. This Omnibus is brought to you by our Founder Sponsor, Santa Rita Wine Estates.Find out more at wine-conversation.com

Hello, I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I've been thinking. How time flies when you are having fun, goes the old expression and here it is a week on from the pranksters' favourite day of the year. I saw some amusing posts and some that were a little hard to place in the April Fool genre, this year round. Still, no doubt many people managed to get “caught” out by the pranks and provide a good laugh at themselves. At the moment, the weather seems to be celebrating the great US Groundhog Day with barely a day passing along the coast without rain. It was a surprise that we had one afternoon and the following day with golden rays of sunshine and then the pattern resumed with storms washing the happy smiles from people's faces. Many will have noticed that the most recent entry into the commercial electronics magazine field has succumbed to the current economic malaise. Diyode magazine has closed its doors and we have but one fully commercial publication of Silicon Chip to fill the space on the newsagents shelves. It was perhaps a heroic venture, to begin with when the likes of Electronics Australia and AEM had closed before. Sadly the amount of material being published which is directly related to amateur radio has been in decline over this time also. Publishers have told us that it has been due to the changes in available products around which they could develop kit construction projects. We have been fortunate that old hands such as Jim Rowe, former Editor of EA, have kept his pen dipped in ink and contributed useful articles to Silicon Chip. With items sourced from the great cornucopia of electronics manufacturing, in Asia, there remains the opportunity to continue a level of homebrew, DIY that helps us in our hobby. Sadly, over the years and because of the nature of junk box collections, projects which make it into the various radio enthusiast journals often can not be replicated because certain parts are no longer stocked or the esoteric nature of the project puts it beyond the level of the journal readers. So it was heartening to pick up a copy of the April Silicon Chip article “Becoming an Amateur Radio Operator” by David, VK3DSM. This small booklet (I call it that because of its breadth and length) runs from page 22 through to page 35 with text and illustrations. What a heartening development to once again see such material being published in the commercial field. Our own Amateur Radio Magazine does get distributed through the newsagency chain but like many specialist publications, a lot of people believe it just preaches to the converted. If you haven't seen David's article yet, I believe it is worth reading by every VK operator with up-to-date material that certainly addresses its subject in a considered and enthusiastic way. I'm Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and that's what I think….how about you? BUNDABERG Just a reminder that if you are attending the National WIA Convention and AGM in Bundaberg on the 4th/5th May and flying into Bundaberg, please make contact with our club and let us know the time of your arrival so we can make sure to meet you at the airport in our Minibus. The driver will take you to your accommodation and will also ferry you to and from the WIA Convention, Gala Dinner and AGM. 73 from David VK4DN – Secretary - Bundaberg Amateur Radio Club. DARLING DOWNS RADIO CLUB Before radio, the world was connected by telegraph. Warren Fritz VK4FJ has a collection of Australian and New Zealand sounders and Morse keys from the early telegraph and will display some at the April 8th Social and Technical gathering of the Darling Downs Radio Club Inc. If you are in the area, all are welcome to see the telegraph equipment and maybe even try reading the sounders at 7:30 pm in the Community Rooms above the Toowoomba City Library.
