The Magic of Six Metres - Talk by Chris Deacon G4IFX
Why do people get so excited about the Six Metre band? Why is this 'in between' range of frequencies widely known as 'The Magic Band'?
Chris, G4IFX has been active on 50 MHz for the last 40 years but still keeps coming back - why?
In this talk, he will give a basic introduction to 50 MHz, why it's interesting, how it works, and how to get on the band. Hopefully, he will inspire one or two people to put up an antenna and give it a try.
Dr Chris Deacon is the current Secretary of the RSGB Propagation Studies Committee and a former Chairman of the UK Six Metre Group. His PhD thesis was entitled "Radio propagation through ionospheric sporadic-E".
Everyone is welcome to join us at the Marconi Centre, Poldhu, on Tuesday, 19th May at 1 pm for the talk by Chris G4IFX.
