November Meeting
Tue 7-Nov-2023, 7.30-9pm
Danbury Vilage Hall"Build A Radio Night"
By CARS MembersNovember has a practical theme, with a difference. Attendees can get a chance to build a free radio on the night !
Following its popularity and success rate at the June Do & Discovery weekend, we will have a number of FM Radio kits to build on the night.
These have good sensitivity, with touch button tuning and audio volume. Soldering and assembly is easy - as lots of kids proved in June. Numbers are limited - Make sure you reserve one in advance
NB you have to attend the Danbury meeting and build it there - or a.n.other may get one on the night instead...
CARS Coordinator: David Ingrey M0HBV
