Thanks see you all there.
The IOMARS Full Licence Course starts this Wednesday, 24 October at 19.00 in the Malew Scout Building in Ballasalla. The course will be upstairs rather than in the main hall.
The requested manuals have now arrived so they will be ready for collection.
I will be dealing mainly with passive components, resistors, capacitors and inductors and combinations there off, in this first session, so please bring along some of your own for measurement. I will have an LCR meter with me, which can also measure ESR, Q and phase angle.
See most of you there this Wednesday.

A recent member consultation re the annual rental of the club shack in Ballasalla resulted in only positive responses.
The committee are now pleased to advise everyone that the IOMARS club shack will continue to be at Mill Road, Ballasalla until further notice.

Ok Guys big day tomorrow 9 new intermediate licenses expected no pressure there ;). The exam is at 17:00 and the Shack will be open and manned from 16:00. Do NOT be late also ensure you have some sort of formal photo id like a driving license or passport plus pencil, calculator (not Phone) and rubber. You will also require your green practical slips without the ID and slips we can not let you sit the exam. Good Luck Nigel

All Just a reminder its shack night tonight in Ballasalla. I have still only had one completed application form for the intermediate exam as of the time of typing this and I need them in before 09:00 on Monday10th. Excellent opportunity to drop in tonight, drop your forms off and say hi to your fellow Radio hams face to face .
As of this moment I have one completed candidate form and accompanying cheque. I need to get the candidates registered two weeks before the exam so the cut off date will be 09:00 Monday 10th of September. If you need my home address to send in the mail please PM or email me I will send you the details. I suggest that candidates start reading the Manual we have 8 copies at the club that we can loan out if you need them. I am hoping to issue more details shortly especially on the practicals in the hope we can get them done before the Course weekends leaving more time for theory.
