AirNav Systems officially launched the new 3-D version of RadarBox. This puts it well ahead of any other virtual radar system. Dealers tell us that RadarBox is now dominating their virtual radar sales. And as expected, it seems to be free of any software bugs.

RadarBox has earned its reputation on reliability, stability, and the absence of any need to rely on third party software.

The new 3-D version features Google Earth as its choice of mapping system. This again puts RadarBox well ahead of the competition. In fact it effectively removes the competition!

And there is more to come from AirNav Systems. Just you wait and see.

On Sunday 7th February the South Essex ARS held their annual rally at the Paddocks Community Centre on Canvey Island. Mark Francis & Rob Snitch manned the Waters & Stanton stand and reported that the attendance was well up on last year and the day a great success.

But don’t just take their word for it, Mike “Zipy” Wheaton, G4ZPE, from the Essex Repeater Group was also there:

“I thought you would like to see how this amateur radio operator supports Waters & Stanton on the day at Canvey Rally this year. The support was first class from the punters, the car park was full and they had to park in the road, it was the best show I have seen for Canvey. So thank you Waters & Stanton for the support from the Essex Repeater group. From an Old Codger De Zipy.”

This Sunday, Valentines Day is a very special day for couples all over the world, but it will be especially important to Bill & Betty who run our Scottish store, Jaycee Electronics, as they will be celebrating their Ruby wedding anniversary! Bill & Betty have run the ham radio store at Glenrothes for many years and their son Scott now works there aswell, although it will usually be the friendly voice of Bill you hear on the phone.

On Saturday December 19^th we had our annual Christmas Open Day with refreshments and mince pies for our loyal customers who braved the snow and ice to fill our showroom once again on a bright and sunny day.

The Yaesu sales engineer Kuni San made the trek from Winchester in Hampshire. Another Japanese person, Mikiko, RS181326 journeyed from north London with husband Robert, M1MRS, and then donned full kimono for the day. It’s quite a ritual which took about an hour to get on! Also in attendance were Murray and Clive from Chelmsford Club Training & Essex Repeater Group, answering many questions.

We had the W&S Christmas Party last Thursday 17th December, this year at the Freighthouse in Rochford. The meal was excellent, and everyone had a good time, as you can see from the photo’s below, and when we left the venue we found it had snowed – how very festive!
