Hello and welcome to the King’s Lynn Amateur Radio Club Website.

Repeater update

A lot of work has been done on the clubs repeaters.
GB3KL is now connected to the internet on the Yaesu Wires-x system.
The site at Knights Hill has been enhanced with a  6m gateway and a DMR repeater.
Full details are in the repeaters and gateways page.
 

Contest News

The club finished 7th in the 80m CC general clubs category, well done to all participants.

The RSGB Autumn series starts with an SSB event on Monday 7th sept.  Entries using a Foundation call sign will have the points awarded to their club multiplied by two; entries using an Intermediate call sign will have the points awarded to their club multiplied by 1.5.

If you would like to participate but are unsure of anything please let us know and we will provide you all the assistance you need.

LoRa APRS

LoRa APRS is not the same beast as traditional VHF APRS as it works on UHF, It utilises a very clever method of modulation allowing rather long range usage from only 100mW.
Trackers can be made from quite inexpensive tracker modules from Ebay or AliExpress that can “easily” be reprogrammed for our purpose.
The following link takes you to a technical talk by James (G5JCC) from the Halifax And District Amateur Radio Society that explains things quite well.

Mike (M0XXM) is planning to give a short presentation to us at a future date.

Mutterings from the management

It has been a good start to our year, with a very sucessful Airfields on the Air at West Raynham SHQ, and then attending there a few weeks later by invitation for the Cadet Day.  This gave us a chance to chat to the cadets about radio all over the world, even if the bands were not playing the game that day!  
 
The Shack Team have been busy bodies and did some vital antenna work over the Bank Holiday weekend, ably fed and watered with bacon and tea.
 
The AGM is on the way on 18th June, and this year will be a big one.  Please remember that you have to be a paid up member to vote, although everyone is welcome to attend and listen.  We will start at 1945.  This is your club, and these meetings are your chance to have your say and make a difference.
 
Hopefully we will see you there!
 
73’s
