Default Re: Duxford Radio Society.

That is interesting and maybe we now see the core problem. These things always turn out to be more complex than it looks. But an airfield is not short of space so it is a shame that they could not have been allowed to build their own building - I expect modern crowd-funding could have raised the cash.

I wonder if they are talking to the RAF Henlow folks who also have an uncertain future, and are not so far away? If it were not for the current crisis making most museums non-viable for the next N years, there is a cheap building in Duxford they could maybe have used.

BTW anyone with an H2S system would do well to try to reconstruct the original H2S training simulator, which cleverly used ultrasonics operating at the original IF frequency and operated in a tank for water to accurately model the performance of the microwave part of the system, thereby allowing a tiny scale model of the terrain to be scanned "for real".
