Notes from the Northern Branch by Norman VK7NR
        The chairman,      Brian VK7ZBY,   and 33 members attended the
May meeting of the Branch, with apologies being received from
VK7's TE, ZAX, LZ, KW, ZWW, H.Skegg and J.Allum.
        Reports were received from all officers,         including a
comprehensive report from our Federal Councilor Peter VKT7PF,
on the recent Federal convention held in Melbourne,
        Peter VK7PD presented the following trading figures:;
April      Sales  $983               May     Sales $ 359.00
           Income $146                      Income $  17.50
  Cash at Branch  $885              Cash at Branch $1262.00

     An application from Max Fraser,            for associate membership
was presented and approved.
     John VK7JV is still looking for articles for QRM and
this request includes items for the Ladies Page, so what about
it
     The 1976 Hamfest will be organised by the Northern Branch
under the leadership of Lindsay VK7ZLD, who will be expecting
4 or 5 volunteers to help him out. He is particularly looking
for new ideas and perhaps some of our younger members can come
up with some. Why not tell Lindsay YOUR IDEAS ? The dates,
November 13 and      14,    the venue is Evandale,    provided the hall
is available,
     Peter VK7PF offered his services as Repeater Co-ordinator
for the Branch, His offer was accepted.
     One thing I forgot about the Hamfest was, an offer by
Joe VK7ZGJ to come up with a "Sniffer" for Foxhunting that
works.
     A suggestion was made that perhaps we might put on a
display at the next Launceston Show, your Hon. Sec. will
follow this up and advise accordingly.
     Also a request was sent to the Superintendent of the
Radio Branch to change the Branch call sign from VK7NZ to
VK7NB.    This change of call sign would,         it is felt,   be more
in keeping with our new constitution.
     And that about sums it up for this Branch meeting, which
was followed by a couple of interesting films, courtesy of
Wall VK7ZWX our Lecture officer.
       One final comment,
                        last months QRM contained a form
asking for members views on Club rooms, some were returned,
but not enough for your executive to fully ascertain your
needs. To those who returned forms,            I say many thanks for
your    interest,   to those who have not yet returned them,
please bring them to the next meeting or post it to Box 1010
Launceston, or give them to any member of the executive, or
any member you know will be attending the next meeting at
the S.E.S.     rooms on June 11lth,    1976.

Notes from the North West Branch. by Lindsay Johnson


      The monthly meeting was held at Lakins Hall Ulverstone
on the 11lth May. Although the weather was fairly cold a good
attendance was present, some eighteen in all (with the assoc-
iates again nearly outnumbering the full members.
      The president Ian VK7ZIE and the secretary treasurer
Max VK7MX were in the chair. With a good turn up of Devonport,
Latrobe, Burnie and Wynyard members and only four associates
from Ulverstone. The meeting went off very well. Graeme VK7ZAQ
reported that the new 2 metre North West repeater, being situ-
ated and installed on a site behind Lonah (which is between
Ulverstone and Penguin along the old coast Rd.) will be opera-
tional shortly, on short tests given recently, it was found to
be a bit of a fizzer in some parts and o.k. in others, so it
looks as if Graeme and his worth while assistant Ivan Lamberton
will be burning up the midnight o0il again to rectify the
troubles, knowing of Graeme's knowledge of electronics we are
sure the troubles will soon be overcome and all 2 metre opera-
tors will then get a good coastal coverage,
      Towards the end of the meeting the secretary treasurer
was busy collecting subs from members for QRM, by the way the
subs were coming in I guess most must now be financial., The
meeting closed at 9.45 p.m. and was followed by supper, the
Burnie members being the hosts and doing a very fine job of it.
      Following supper Graeme VK7ZAQ held a mobile clinic with
his frequency counter, which went over very succesfully and
created much interest as was shown by the amount of rigs which
were brought in by members for Graeme to give the once over.
I think this an opportune time and place to thank Graeme for
all the hours of voluntary and untiring work he donates to us
here in the North West Branch and else where.
      Following the mobile clinic there was the usual after
meeting discussions and the meeting was wound up at 10.15 p.m.
But this was not the end of the evenings outing for some
Devonport and Latrobe members who on the way home called in
on a Ulverstone member who had recently purchased a movie
camera and had just received back his first ever home made
movie,The visitors were privileged to be able to see the premier
screening and had to admit, not bad for the first one.

      Two Wynyard members who are very active on 2 metres are,
Kirby VK4ZGR/7 and Brian VK7ZBL, Brian, who has purchased a
welding plant, is in the process of designing and building
a tower, from what he tells us, when it is completed it will
be the answer to simplicity in erection and strength, good
luck with your project Brian, we are looking forward to yet
stronger signals than your already strong ones,
      Kirby VK4ZGR/7 is also very active on 2 metres and is
being heard mobile from different parts of the coast or his
QTH using the ZIE special aerial and putting in some quite
strong signals.

HF notes by Frank VK7BC

     A general improvement has been noticed (or imagined)
this month, with the band remaining open a little longer
than of late. Multipath echoes have been observed quite
often during the past 2 weeks on 20 metre CW signals, which
in itself would indicate an improvement in conditions. The
10 and 160 metre bands have not been monitored this month.
QSP     For those old friends of the Rev,           "Ham'" VE3BWY.
        Ham will be in VK for a period of three month
        commencing 22nd of November. The first three weeks
        will be spent in VK7 where he will be quite QRL with
        the business of his calling, however he is looking
        forward to some eyeball QSO's with his old contacts.
        More later.

and we can look forward to seeing him right up on top of
the DXCC listings.

                           VHF notes by Joe Gelston VK7ZGJ.

                                 To date there have been no openings on 6 metres,                           the
                           only contacts being local ones.
                                 The 6 metre beacon was switched on at 1530 hours (local)
                           24th April 1976. A little trouble was experienced with RF
                           (7EX)   getting into the NE555 timer,                  the unit now idents every
                           20 seconds,   after RF bypassing the timer circuit.
                                 The beginning of the month commenced with a very good
                           opening to VK3 on 2 metres. The first indication of the opening
                           was via the Melbourne FM station on 012.7 Mhz, it was S9 for
                           several hours and audible for two days.
                                   Between 09.52 and 12.27Z on 1 - 5 -'76 both myself and
                           Kevin VK7ZAH worked Vk3's,        AKC,        YJU,       2ZXO,   ZQV and AZG,    the next
                           morning we worked VK3ZQV again, all signals were R5 and strengths
                           varied from S1 to S9.
                                 This is all I have for this month, dont forget to listen
                           for the mid winter DX openings on 6 metres. ChO TV is one of
                           the best indicators of a band opening, also keep a listen on
                           the beacon frequencies (listed in A.R.).

                                                                                         73 Joe VKTZGJI

                           Jottings from Lindsay Johnson.
                                 Tony VK7AX is busy laying tiles we hear and is becoming
                           somewhat of an expert, but with all of Tony's activities he
                           still finds time to be an active,on air, member, he is doing
                           a good job with the rebroadcast of the Sunday morning news
                           broadcast.
                                 I would like   to mention the lot of the Sunday morning
                           broadcast officer,   he is the chap that goes on air every Sunday
                           morning for around   thirty minutes with news of what is happening
                           around the various   Branches, and all of us sit back and listen
                           to that broadcast,   in fact,       we look forward to 9.30 a.m.                   every
                           Sunday morning. But do we ever stop and think of just how much
                           time, effort and phone calls go into making this broadcast
                           possible,   that is us,   who have never prepared or done a broad-
                           cast and very likely never done anything about channeling a bit
                           of news along to the broadcast officer. Remember one phone call
                           from you, is little compared to a dozen or more from him, trying
                           to seek out the news. It would be appreciated if he could have
                           these bits and pieces of news at least a day before, giving him
                           time to sift through them and save that last minute rush.

    PRACTICAL DESIGN OF SMALL POWER TRANSFORMERS.
    by John Simmons of the Launceston Technical College.
          The first consideration in the design of any transformer
    is the output. The output is stated in so many volt-amperes,
    because in alternating current apparatus, the produczt of the
    volts and amperes does not always give the true watts., Where
    there is more than one output, the total output is found by
    adding the seperate outputs.
          e.g. A transformer is required to have three outputs.,
    One of 6 volts at 10 amperes, one 100 volts at 0.5 amperes
    and one 20 volts at 1 ampere,
                              6 x 10 = 60 volt amperes
                            100 x .5 = 50 volt amperes
                             20 x 1  = 20 volt amperes
                                       130 _volt amperes

          When the total output of the transformer has been
    determined,     the next consideration is the sectional area of
    the core. The core of a transformer is that part of the iron
    on which the coils are wound. The yoke of a transformer, or
    that part of     the iron outside the coils,      must have a total
    cross—-sectional area at least ejqual to the area of the core.
    A simple rectangular core has a uniform section, the coils
    being wound on one side of the rectangle. In the more usual
    arrangement of the T-U or E-I stampings, the core section is
    twice the area of the yokes since there are two paths for the
    magnetic flux from the ends of the core. Figures 1 and 2 show
    the difference between the two types of cores.
          The mathematical determination of the optimum area of
    the core is extremely coplicated and the best average values
    are given for outputs of 10 - 1000 volt-amperes in table 1.

      To continue the design of the practical example, where
an output of 130 volt-amperes is required, refer to Table 1
and choose the next largest output which is 150 volt-amperes.
The core section will therefore be 1.75 square inches of
Stalloy transformer steel.
      When the area of the core has been found from Table 1,
the number of turns on the various windings is estimated from
Table 2.
      To continue the example design, look down column 1 for a
core section of 1.75 square inches then across to column 2
where it is found that four turns per volt must be used. That
is to say, that for every volt across a winding on this partic-
ular transformer, there must be four turns. Take the primary
winding first, this is to be connected to a 240 volt main,
therefore the number of turns will be 4 x ”40 = 960.
      When estimating the nunber of secondary turns an allowance
of five per cent extra turns is made to compensate for the drop
in volts due to the current in the windings. Where extreme
accuracy in the voltage output is required, the resistance of
the windings must be pre-determinecd and the number of turns
necessary to compensate for the drop in volts on load, or the
regulation as it is called, must be calculated. An easier and
more certain method is to adjust the number of secondary turns
until an alternating current volt meter gives the desired
reading when connected across the winding loaded at the normal
current.
      Table 3 gives the wire sizes and their current carrying
capacity at 1500 amperes per square inch, which is a satisfac-
tory value for continues working.
    June 1976                       Q.R.M.                        Page 10

          When the current shown in column 1 Table 3 does not
    exactly correspond with the output current, the next highest
    value is taken. Thus in the practical example, the 6 volt
    10 ampere winding is wound with 13 S.W.CG. wire, The difference
    being insufficient to warrant the larger gauge, The 100 volt
    0.5 ampere winding is wound with 24 S.W.G. wire and the 70 volt
    1 ampere winding with 21 S.W.G..
          Before the gauge of wire for the primary or mains winding
    can be settled, it is necessary to calculate the primary
    current for full load.  This is found by dividing the mains
    voltage into the output volt-amperes.
          In our example,   the primary current is,

                 %%% = 0.54 ampere at 100% efficiency.

          A transformer of this size would have an efficiency of
    about 92 per cent,   so that the primary current would be
    0.54 x lgg = 0.59 amperes.
            9z
          It would be permissible to use 24 S.W.G. wire for this
    current since the extra 0.02 ampere is to small to matter.
          When the number of turns and the gauges of the wires to
    be used have been found, the next step 1s to calculate the area
    of the opening, or window, in the stampings which the winding
    will occupy. For the transformer which is being considered as
    an example, this is done as follows.
          The primary winding has 960 turns of 24 S.W.G. wire.
    From Table 3, it is seen that this gauge of wire winds 1775
    turns per square inch. The area occupied by the primary is
                 Q
    therefore 17%% = 0.54 square inch.

          Similarly the 6 volt winding which would have 24 (6 x 4)
    turns of- 13 S.W.G.
                 a3            3  3
                        has a winding area of    2
                                                 _24 _ 0.222 square inch.
                                                108
    The 100 volt winding will occupy     ;Q%7§§é = 0.226 square inch,

    and the 20 volt winding 222 = 0.0925 square inch.
                               2



          The total winding area is now 0.54 + 0.222 + 0.226 -+ 0.0925
    = 1,08 square inches.
          It is now necessary to add about 20% allowance for the ins-
    ulation between the layers, the space occupied by the bobbin and
    insulation between windings. The area now becomes
          1.08 x 1.2 = 1.3 square inches.
