LRS member David GM4ZNX attracted a lot of interest with his Noise Factor measurements. 

The third Scottish Microwave Round Table (GMRT) was held on Saturday 2nd November 2013 at the Museum of Communication in Burntisland with a number of LRS members involved as organizers and active participants. Afterwards there was an informal dinner at the Kingswood Hotel followed by musical entertainment from the Microwave Quartet.

At the LRS meeting on Wednesday 13th November we welcomed back Geoff Crowley MM5AHO for his talk - "International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend 2013 - the crazy Crowleys sail again!". He described the cruise this year with his son Matt MM1EUI to exotic islands such as Wee Cumbrae and Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde, illustrated by many slides and videos. Geoff has given two previous talks about his cruises round the western isles.
