Build your own UNUN! This Saturday 8th Oct. Richard, VK3TXD will be visiting the club to demonstrate the FRC 100W Kit. The FRC100W Kit is the EFHW 100 watt version UNUN Transformer. So if you are interested in building a 100 watt version UNUN Transformer for a End Fed Half Wave Antenna.... Come on down to the club this Saturday. Deposits or full payment will be accepted on the day.
As you know I have been away on a trip with my wife, and managed to play around with the FRC100W UNUN and wire..
Although I have always been a OCF antenna man... I must say that I have convinced that the EFHW running this UNUN Transformer is soooo much easier, especially the tuning of the antenna.
Although this is a sample UNUN kit from Richard, it is extremely well made and very robust for park and home use.
I'm converted that's for sure!

Hello Members,
After the recent Poll to do with the new Website Logo, and again, a poor turnout, we had 18 votes showing 100% in favour on the new logo. However considering we have around 50 plus members this is a poor response. But.. as there was 100% approval, I believe the Committee will approve the new logo. Thank you for the people who bothered to make an effort.. I must say, I noticed that some of the voters were not from the club. So that means even a poorer effort by the members.. Sad !
WIA Broadcast for famparc
Hello.. You may recall that I mentioned a while back that I would like to do a Promo for the club on the WIA Weekly News Bulletin Broadcast. Well.. The other day I produced document outlining recent changes to our club etc. I had a go at recoding it myself, but after listening to my bogan commentary, I decided to contact a old friend of mine who I keep in contact with on a regular basis. The chap is also a Ham, VK4BAT Trevor, he has a golden voice to say the least, he is also a Joc for a Sunshine Coast Radio Station, 4GY. He also does Voice Overs and I have used him for the place I worked at..
Anyway, Trevor was happy to do the voice over for us, as the grab only goes for around 90 seconds or so. After receiving the file, I forward it to the WIA. The reply from the WIA, was that there is a good chance that the Grab will be included in this weekends Broadcast. So listen out for it. Below is the file if you wish to listen to it.
I hope it meets all approvals from our Members. Cheers. Craig vk3ncr
Hi Members of Famparc.
It is with disappointment that I have to announce the cancellation of the International lighthouse weekend at the McCrae lighthouse.
Members of Famparc, Sparcs, and Moorabbin Radio club were invited, however, there appears to be little interest with only one member from Famparc putting his name forward to help and take part in the event.
