MBARS Open Day 25/4/2009
It was a lovely hot day in Morecambe, the sun was shining and it promiced to stay a lovely day. So thoughts of the Open day being a success where not at the forefront of my mind. On arrival the Trimpell club already had quite a few Amateurs present, so a quiet afternoon was out of the question thankfully.
From Left to Right (Out of shot, but you can see their hands) Simon and Olivia Hazel (studying for their foudation exams) Russell (M3LCZ) Sorry has anyone else his callsign), Ashley (M6AAG, who recently passed his Foundation with MBARS), Martin Taylor (Club Secretary, M0LCY), Dave (G1CCL), Chris (G0TOO).
Sean Airey (M6IRU) one of our current Intermediate students at the Controls of M0ZIF's TS-480 SAT which was brought in for the day along with the KT100 tuner, and Meon 4m transverter.
We also had Mike M6MWC and his children attend for a while Don and Sarah (sorry callsigns not noted again) also Not pictured anywhere here is Myself, Martin Hazel, M0ZIF the clubs communications officer, and event organiser.
The picture to the left is Martin (M0LCY's) Low VHF Clansman antenna, which he kindly brought in as a talking point. Suprisingly it is a Vertically polarised antenna. Whilst we didn't get a chance to experement with it, I am sure we will in the future.
Above is a picture of some of the shack equipment available for use on the day.
Many thanks to everyone who attended and made the event well worth running and I hope you will visit again soon.

I enjoyed myself meeting other children and playing. I also learned a bit more about radio from some of the adults
