SPRAT #125 - The Saviour of Ham Radio?
 

The Winter 2005/6 edition of SPRAT would seem to indicate that
the G-QRP club is well placed to act as the guardian of _REAL_
Ham Radio in Britland, now that the RSCB has thrown in the
towel by the metaphorically-mixing act of nailing its colours
("colors" for the non-English-speaking Yanks) to the mast.

A bevy of practical articles, including a suggestion for using
a throw-away VHF FM scanner RX as an HF RX.

One point of criticism, to keep a balance, is that the G-QRP
club supports the gangrenous degeneration that is the M3/CB
Fools' Licence scheme and by publishing a homebrew Top
Band rig by a licensee in the aforementioned scheme is encouraging
the licensees thereof to breach their licence conditions.

Been upstaged by an M3?

Instead of whinging on the NG why don't you write an article for the G-QRP
Club Mag and share your knowledge with those who you would no doubt class as
_REAL_ Radio Hams?

Good to see G-QRP are encouraging newcomers to the hobby. Plenty of M3s
listed in the members' handbook, and now writing technical articles for
Sprat too!

I also noticed that G3RJV has re-published the transmitter section of
the SC Deluxe in this month's PW, complete with his usual excellent
explanation of how the circuit works, proving that it doesn't need to
be rocket science.

All of which rather belies the rabid drivel that started this thread!
