CTARC January Meeting - 22 Jan '20


[From previous Show and Tell meetings...]

The Cape Town Amateur Radio Centre kicks off the new year with its first meeting, to be held at the clubhouse on Saturday 25 January 2020, starting formally at 14h00, although we encourage you to arrive a little earlier if you want to get a seat!

The topic of the meeting will be a Show-and-Tell Session. We encourage all members to bring along an interesting radio amateur-related item [or items] they may have designed, built or acquired along the way. Don't be shy!

Past events of this nature have been very interesting indeed, with fascinating and sometimes unusual radio items being dusted off from workshops and garages / rediscovered in  attics / dug up from buried caches in back gardens... We're confident this meeting will be no exception.

We also remind you of the opportunity to bring along surplus radio-related gear to sell, swop or buy at our regular informal regular monthly swop shop after the meeting. Please remember, whatever stuff you bring to the meeting, [whether it's been sold or not] must please be removed from the clubhouse afterwards because we have no space to keep it there and cannot guarantee its safety.
