[M5AKA]

Skills Night takes place at 7pm on Monday, February 18 in the Danbury Village Hall, Essex, CM3 4NQ. This free event is open to all with an interest in any aspect of radio.

Hosted by the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society Training Team, Skills Nights are Inter-Club events attended by amateurs and SWL's from across Essex and beyond. They provide an opportunity to try something new, share ideas, get help and advice, and socialise with others interested in the hobby.

There is a Free Raffle ticket to everyone who signs in at the door.

The provisional agenda this month includes:
• Essex CW ARS with Dean G4WQI and his team there to help anyone who may be interested in learning Morse. Dean will have the laptop and CARS Monitor to help newcomers learn a little bit more about Morse Code. Maybe get signed off on your Foundation Morse Practical with a qualified tutor.
