SCATTERPOINT
An Amateur Radio Publication for the Microwave Enthusiast


Scatterpoint is an Amateur Radio Publication for the Microwave Enthusiast published by the UK Microwave Group. In its current form it succeeded the former RSGB Microwave Newsletter following a transfer in July 2004. Access to current copies is one of the prime benefits of UKuG membership. There are ten issues a year. July and August are a single issue as is November and December. As before, its principal editor is Peter Day G3PHO.

Scatterpoint can be delivered by email in PDF format or as hardcopy by post.
To subscribe for current copies please see the Membership Page and form for further details.

As a service to the wider community, UKuG (like BATC) makes older copies available. Please respect UKuG and Author's copyrights as all rights are reserved.
