Alan Edwards, G8WXR
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Alan Edwards, G8WXR on the 6th March 2010
Alan had been in RAYNET for over 20 years and in his time he has been the Treasurer for the Keighley RAYNET Group.
Alan was also Treasurer for the Keighley Amateur Radio Society and The Aire Valley Amateur Radio Repeater Society. His contribution to all aspects of amateur radio were greatly appreciated and he will be sadly missed by all.
Our deepest sympathy to his family, our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

Keighley Radio's Coming Events
|
Peter Kirby, G0TWW, the General Manager of the RSGB |
|
|
This week I have to start by eating a piece of humble pie, in my Leader for the February edition of RadCom I made reference to RAYNET and the recent bad weather and asked the question Are we really fully prepared logistically to assist in any emergency? I spoke of a recent incident in Bedfordshire when a community was without electricity for forty eight hours and that during that time communications was difficult. I also said in the article that there, were no RAYNET groups available to cover the incident. Well I got that wrong didn’t I?!

Keighley Amateur Radio Society
Keighley Amateur Radio Society meets at Keighley Cougars RLFC, Cougar Park, Royd Ings Avenue, Keighley, BD21 3DS every Thursday night at 20:00
The Keighley Radio Club was started in the 1980’s with just a handful of members meeting at various venues throughout the town. We have the facilities of a licensed bar and on our nights on the air we have a radio shack set up with our VHF and HF radios and make contact with other amateur radio stations throughout the world. The club has given us permission for the antennas, and we are lucky that we have room for a long wire dipole round the perimeter of the sports club and a cobweb on the roof of the club. Throughout the year we have various talks and events and you will find a calendar in the index on the left hand side. Also we are in a position to hold the RSGB Foundation and Novice Courses, which allows the new enthusiasts to get started on the air. Once you have passed the exam you get your 'Pass' certificate and you are on your way! When you have been issued with your own individual M3 series call-sign you will be able to operate on all bands but with a power restriction

Each radio amateur has there own interests in radio from VHF, HF, working via satellite, contests, special event stations, construction or just plain listening. Some amateurs send QSL card to confirm that they have had a contact. Each member brings their own knowledge to the Club and we find this very useful when trying out new things.
Fun for Everyone
Amateur radio can be enjoyed by young and old, male and female, even the most severely disabled can make friends around the world from their own home.
And there are many famous names associated with amateur radio!
Helen Sharman, Britain's first astronaut, Helen circled the world aboard the MIR space station in 1991.(GB1MIR)
Sergei Rebrov, Spurs 11 million pound striker, M0SDX

Lord Rix, famous 1950/60's West End actor who went on to run Mencap and was knighted for his work with the mentally handicapped
Other Keighley Radio Organisations
Keighley has two more amateur radio Organisations that are independent of The Keighley Amateur Radio Society, they are Keighley Raynet (Amateur Radio Emergency Communications) and Aire Valley Amateur Radio Repeater Society who run the local repeater Keighley Raynet Group
Keighley Raynet Group is run by amateur radio volunteers, the purpose of which is to provide communications, originally for emergencies but has been broadened to include long distance walks, festivals, fun runs and charity walks. Over the last few years the Raynet Group have helped with at least 10 events. They have managed to acquire quite a large amount of equipment, including masts, aerials and trailers for use on these events, but members are expected to use their own radios wherever possible. Anyone can be considered for membership. If you are interested and would like more details, get in touch with Geoff G7JZM or a member of the Keighley Radio Club.
Aire Valley Amateur Radio Repeater Society
Keighley Repeater Group is made up of a small amount of amateurs that look after the vhf repeater, which is situated on Silsden Moor. The repeater is needed to help with the radio communications around the district and is intended for mobile use. It even manages to bounce the radio signals from coast to coast on a good day. There is a small membership fee for those wishing to be members of the repeater group which goes towards the upkeep of the equipment. If you would like to know more then please get in touch with Mike G7HEN or a member of the Keighley Radio Club.
