Next available RadioTek Sunday 3rd September 2017
This is a day of radio technology where you will be given an insight into the world of radio and electronics and Amateur Radio. For some time the members of the Christchurch Amateur Radio Club have been concerned about the lack of technical training in schools and other institutions. We are hoping to encourage an interest in all things electronic with these RadioTek days.
You will start with RadioTek 1
This a simple introduction to electronics and radio and then will put together a basic electronic circuit wire contact game. Then on to an AM radio receiver, all built on copper stripline for ease and simplicity. Later you can progress to printed circuit boards.
These days will be held regularly throughout the year and you are encouraged to progress through the days with different activities and items built as a logical progressionfrom RadioTek 1 – 4.
In RadioTek 2 you will be introduced to meters and some other electronics then build an amplifier for your AM radio you built in RadioTek 1.
RadioTek 3
This is more electronics and then you will build a more complcated FM board for your radio so you have a complete AM/FM radio.
RadioTek 4
RadioTek 4 is a
more detailed introduction to Amateur Radio and you are encouraged to bring
along your own simple kit to constructon the day.
Depending on the mix and numbers
attending some of these activities may be repeated or overlap.
Tea/coffee and
soft-drinksare available with biscuits and you bring your own lunch.
A parent or friend is welcome, as well
as yourselves, for all to have an enjoyable day. There is still plenty of
on siteparking at the new location.
There is a small cover charge of $15 to
help pay for some of the costs associated with the day.
We hope this day will spark your
interest in all things electronic and you will be encouraged to join the club
and come along to others days we intend to organise and to the regular
weekly/monthly meetings. The club will help you to further your knowledge and
hopefully you will want to become a “Ham” radio operator and join us on the
airwaves.
