- Essex CW: The team were again present with a demo and advice on Morse.
- ThamesARG: Mark M0IEO brought another demonstration to help those new to our hobby grasp the fundamentals of radio. This month Mark had an oscilloscope set up in the room with his KX3 radio attached to show the difference between an amplitude and frequency modulated signals. It was also a good chance to see just how useful an oscilloscope can be in amateur radio.
