Any of our Foundation level members fancy having a go at this? It's the #1 course in the country, and we'll all give you a hand swotting up! Intermediate really isn't that much harder than Foundation, so why not give it a go?
I actually found it the most fun of all the exams, and Steve Hartley is one of the best trainers around.
The closing date for applications for the next Bath-Based Distance Learning (BBDL) course for the Intermediate exam is Thursday, 7 December 2022.
Following application, students must complete some short pre-course study and a quiz to ensure they are able to use the BBDL systems, and to see if it suits their needs.
That work must be completed by 21 December 2022.
The course starts on 4 January 2023, with exams expected in May 2023.
For full details and an application form, please email Steve, G0FUW, at

DXNews.com produce a useful DX calendar, generated by script and offered freely to the amateur community. Phil G4UDU pointed it out to me, and I have included it underneath our regular calendar to make it easier for people to find some of the opportunities for DX on any given day: https://midsussexars.org.uk/calendar
You can click on each individual entry and be redirected to DXNews to see full details of the stations involved.
I'll monitor it's reliability and security, and see how it works out.

Many thanks to Mick Senior, G4EFO for giving an excellent talk to a hall full of MSARS members on Friday 11th November. Sadly, I was unable to attend, but have since looked through the PowerPoint deck, and it's really very good.
If you'd like to do the same, then I have uploaded it here: 
If you'd like to have the full audio experience from the evening, then that too is available here: 
You should be aware that both files are large at 350MB and 210MB respectively. If you don't have access to Microsoft PowerPoint or similar, you can get a free viewer application by following the instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/view-a-presentation-without-powerpoint-2f1077ab-9a4e-41ba-9f75-d55bd9b231a6
Thanks also to Alan and Mick for providing a copy of the deck and audio recording, and to Sue and Stella for arranging the evening. We are proud and grateful to be able to host such excellent speakers at our Society evenings, so if anybody wishes to give a talk themselves, or knows anybody from outside the club that would be happy to come along and do so, then please do get in touch with our Programme Secretary, contact details on our Contact Page.
