Congratulations to the above committee and I wish them well in their en-devours.
The Eden Radio Club did not wait in organizing their first event. This event took place from 10h00 to 14h00 on Saturday the 24 September 2022 at Bo-Plaas in the Kleinbrak area. As can be seen from the images below this event included the introduction of the youth to amateur radio. The event was a great success and all those who attended enjoyed the outing to Bo-Plaas as well as operating the station and working other stations on the different bands. I heard down the grape-vine that the next event is scheduled for the 1 October 2022 and that it will take place in the Botanical Gardens, George.
