G4AQG active on SSB and CW on the HF bands.

Staff members Dave Barrett M0IVM (Estates), Norman Billigham M0EBI (Chemistry) Jeremy Maris G3XDK and Peter Reed G4BVH (Life Sciences), with help from local amateurs Graham Bubloz G4FNL Steve Harwood G4OWT and Tony Lock G8WBI, have rebuilt the amateur radio station on the University campus.

We have a number of wire aerials supported between trees - a 160m doublet up at 60ft, 40m dipole up at 75 ft (also used as a T antenna on 160m with 40 or so 1/8 wave radials), 80m full wave loop at 35 feet high plus an inverted L with 85ft vertical and 90ft top. We also have four Beverage antennas (850ft NW, 1600 ft NE, 800ft North and 800ft South) for top band and MW DX listening. The original 60ft Versatower tower has been refurbished and we have a JayBeam TB3 Yagi for 20/15/10. We will soon have remote control of club facilities via the internet, so that members can listen (and if licenced, transmit) from the comfort of home. You are welcome to listen the output of our station Icom 751a transceiver but remote control and status information isn't available yet. Audio Streamed by the BroadWave Streaming Audio Server

New members needed! Anyone interested in any aspect of amateur radio is very welcome. You don't need a licence, just an interest. The existing members are always prepared to help others get involved.
