Events.....
These events, particularly the overnight ones, tend to be social occasions as much as technical exercises and apart from the transmitters, generators, antennas and camping equipment that are brought on site, barbeque equipment, food and beer are brought along also! The group also participates in many of the yearly IRTS contests from various locations around the South-East. These competition provide an ideal opportunity for club members to test out equipment and have some good fun trying to beat other contestants!
