The BATC organises conventions known as CAT (Convention for Amateur Television) at locations around the UK.
CAT 20 will be held over the weekend of 24/25 October 2020 at the Midland Air Museum in Coventry http://www.midlandairmuseum.co.uk/ . The format will be similar to CAT 18 with lectures and discussion/fix-it time on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, followed by the BATC General meeting on Sunday afternoon.
We hope to cater for a wide variety of interests, including 5.6 GHz FM ATV and digital ATV including point-to-point, repeaters and QO-100. There will also be full test facilities available (for 5.6 GHz/Portsdown/MiniTiouner/Power Amplifiers/Preamps) during the event.
