A few error corrections and external website addresses updated due to owners changing them.
A note added to all the Battery equivalent pages stating that we do not sell batteries (you'd be surprised how many times I get a request for prices!).

       In the Constructors Information Area a page has been added about UK mains electricity.

       Even more mic wiring schemes (both radio and microphone) added to the Microphone Wiring Area, along with more brand logos in the index to aid recognition.

       Make sure you keep up with the latest Club activities (changes to published activities will be uploaded as soon as I know about them):
   Club Activities (for screen readers) or
   Club Calendar (unsuitable for screen readers).

These updates have been posted gradually during the last couple of weeks.
More pages have been made W3C compliant.
A few mistooks corrected.
The Microphone Wiring section has had a make-over, bringing all the sections together under a single index, as per requests & suggestions received.

       More mic wiring schemes (both radio and microphone) added to the Microphone Wiring Area.

       The AnyTone AT-5555 section has had some more items added in the Repairs area (V4 and V5 DATS).

       A link to a resistor (4, 5 & 6 band) calculator added to the Calculators area (thanks to Elaina Radon, Technical Editor of that site).

       An update to the About Callsigns page, following an informative email and a couple of not so informative ones!

       In the General Information area a CB and Radio Control frequency chart and an 11M DX divisions list have been added.

       In the Members Only area is the latest Newsletter (latest being the correct word as the December issue was held back until January!). The September Newsletter has been moved to the Archive.

Although there are several sections "in the boiling pot" as it were, this will be the last update for a while (unless something important comes to my attention) because I have to put on my Treasurer's hat and get the end of year accounting done and audited, also write my Treasurer's Report for the AGM. Then it is on with my Chairman's hat to write that report for the first quarter, when I was Chairman. Then on with my Webmaster's hat for the end of year report for the site. Then I have to don my Newsletter Editor's hat to prepare the December Newsletter. So, as you can see, I will be a busy bee for the foreseeable future. Mid December looks to be the earliest for next site update.

More pages have been made W3C compliant.

       More work in Constructors Corner, updating programming info and adding cloning instructions for some more radios plus a couple of programming cable projects.

       The AnyTone AT-5555 section has had some more items added in the Repairs area.
