Yesterday, the club held the regular “Show & Tell” day. On display were a number of pristine “CB” radios
from the 70’s and various test equipment including some used to test one of the old radios as well as a lovely old transistor tester, which was accompanied by a small lecture on transistor theory.
A reminder to members that the end of year lunch is approaching on the 10th of December. Please RSVP to give us a heads up for catering requirements.
