Great job cleaning up last night to get the club ready back into classroom mode for tonight. Some rubbish, and scrap metal and cable to provide a little additional funds.

The clubrooms now has a 'new' HF wire antenna after the last one failed. Additionally a new UHF yagi facing south for HF linking for search and rescue.

The clubrooms shack is now running off 12V DC using 2 x 150AH Lead Acid Batteries and a small solar system to keep it topped up.

A nosy at a speaker amp that had a chip fail, making antenna baluns and digital and D-Star radio overview.

More TYT MD-UV390's were programmed, testing Nano VNA on duplexer and a general chat.

TYT MD-UV390's were firmware upgraded and programmed. Antenna ideas were discussed.

Casual Night, some discussion on pager monitoring, system architecture, meshtastic, HF antennas in back yards and a bit of DC wiring in the cabinet to bring some more of the IT gear across to backed up DC and get rid of the AC plug packs, hopefully reducing the noise further. 2XS FM playing in the for a bit of background music.

This workshop night Graeme ZL2GZ showed off the recently deployed NZ Coverage Maps website.

Damon ZL1ELC demonstrating checking the tune of various antennas.

Assembling some of the component and software in the case for the new D-star repeater for North Range Road.
