Fascinating talk on the Shepparton International High Frequency Transmitting Station

The Melbourne chapter of the Radio Amateurs Old Timers club had an informative and entertaining presentation by Nigel Holmes, VK3DZ about the role of the Shepparton International High Frequency Transmitting Station in researching the ionosphere and even reflecting HF signals from the Moon’s surface.

It turns out that quite a few of my fellow members of the Macedon Ranges Amateur Radio Club are also members of the Old Timers.

There's a good train service from central Victoria down to Melbourne and then on to the Caulfield RSL where we meet so, naturally, we ended up on the train together. Here is VK3MO, VK3ACR, VK3XW, VK3WQ and VK3RV. Also in attendance was VK3CCR.

The meeting was well attended and the food was very good. 

The Radio Old Timers Club is a national organisation but to my knowledge only Melbourne and Perth have lunch events.
