The feature series in the last three month’s of Q Bit has been about using 1/4 wave stubs for filters. To follow this up, the author is going to provide an overview of the theory and a short practical demonstration of stub filters.
Doug ZL2TAR has plenty of professional and practical experience with designing and implementing 1/4 wave filters to meet the requirements of closely located antennas and site that may suffer from interference.

(access from Paekakariki and you will need to bring everything- even shade and a seat! There is plenty of space and last year was a lovely afternoon. If you can bring a BBQ to cook on (gas only), please do so if you don't have one, I'm sure you can share space on one.
