Talk and live radio demonstration by Ken Parkes and John McCullough to illustrate the workings on RAYNET
Club President Graham Kane welcomed guest Jim Dinsmore and club members to the meeting and then introduced our initial speaker for the morning, club member Ken Parkes. Ken then chose an imaginative method to illustrate the mornings talk about amateur radio communications, by radioing another member of the speaking team, John McCullough, and guiding him to the meeting. Ken introduced the talk be saying that the beginnings of radio communications go back over 150 years with the birth of the Morse code. Although there have been massive changes over the years, there is still a large and active use of the Morse code around the world. However, this mornings talk time only permits a quick mention of history, and John would tell the members more about the Amateur radio emergency network, or 'RAYNET' to give its official title.
