Apart from a very brief TX period with 2.5W (4 spots of me), I am RX only
(6 spots after about 10 minutes at 0844z). Antenna is the usual V2000
vertical omni.

Zoom advantages?

Posted: 13 Aug 2021 10:58 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/08/zoom-advantages.html


Since the start of the pandemic our local Cambridge Radio Club (CDARC) has
been holding regular lectures via Zoom. We usually get between 20-30 people attending.

The advantage is those watching and speaking can be anywhere in the world.
Last night the speaker was in Canada. It felt as if he was next door!
As I am unable to drive in the dark, these talks suit me fine.
