Re: Important - Attention All MSARS Members!
I am not sure about the rules of parking in mid Sussex and indeed I would have to go and find the legislation notices to be absolutely certain
But it is often the case that the car has to be parked for 10 minutes before a penalty notice can be applied - effectively a reasonable time to go to parking payzone and make payment, but by the time you get there, you are now too late to pay- if this is the case in hand for Burgess Hill, it will be perfectly feasible to park at 7:50. Take a picture of your car, so as to timestamp your arrival and then a penalty notice cannot be issued because the time would have to go over into the free parking slot at 8pm
It is a case of applying the letter of the law, but might be worth a bit of investigation. If anyone can find the ticket issuing terms and conditions.

Important - Attention All MSARS Members!
Please be aware that Mid Sussex District Council have changed the charging times for Cyprus Road car park, and fees are now payable until 8pm - so you'll have to pay for an hours parking each and every Friday club night!
Don't get caught out. It would be a painful experience.

Might I suggest that the committee consider changing the club meeting start time back to 8pm?

Mac Computers
For all of you with your windows computers - have you ever considered “Going to the other side”
I have a couple of MAC computers I am going to upgrade - unlike windows PC’s they do not have to be scrapped at the first major upgrade fail - so they retain value …..
There are 2 of them - One is running the latest system and the other older one is on an earlier system.
The MAC OS system comes complete with basic programs - so unlike Windows where you need to either purchase or sign up to a subscription of Office - 365 - or whatever - it is included at NO CHARGE
They are both MAC Mini’s - a desktop device about 8 inches square by about 1.5 inches high - you will need a monitor (HDMI SOCKET) keyboard and mouse track pad
MAC computers have the ability of being able to be reset to factory (plus upgrades) condition - so they will be fresh for you to load your personal data
Here are the two screen grabs of the machine data - I have clipped the bottom so as not to send out the serial numbers
Look up the details, contact me direct and make me an offer - if you have any questions about what will or will not run on them - I should be able to help you - after Xmas if no interest they will be both put on EBay where they will sell without any problem
I have heard interest from club members about MACS - but then most buy a cheap rubbish WIN machine and it dies in 2 years and ends up as a door stop - there is another way ……...

G3SKI Silent Key
Just received some sad news from Martin Bravery
Ron G3SKI died on Monday evening - very peaceful, just old age - 99 1/2 years - he always wanted to make 100
He was in a nursing home in Chichester receiving care for some time now

Baluns and Traps
Hi All,
For those who were at the Talk by Phil G4UDU on the 9th August and any others that are interested.
I have picked up from Chris at RadioStuff (www.radio-stuff.com) my kit of parts to build my 9:1 balun with choke.
Chris is very helpful, full of useful tips and he is local too, Partridge Green.
There will be at least one Balun for Phil to check over on this Friday 23rd.
Regards
Alan

Baluns and UNUNs
Phil's talk reminded me that my 18m vertical with 30 radials and an MRF998RT auto-tuner was a bit clunky on some bands and went off on a permanent hunt on 10m.So I re-wound a current balun from the junk box to be a 4:1 UNUN. Then shoehorned it into a plastic box from Screwfix. Pic attached. I must buy a bigger box next time!Anyway, conclusion: the 4:1 transformation is enough to reduce down the extremes in impedances to make them matcheable. All bands achieve better than 1.1:1 in under a second. And 10m now behaves.Thanks for the nudge Phil.John GM8JBJJohn Berry
