Also in GB2RS this week…

The National Radio Centre in Bletchley Park will play host to the GB17YOTA call sign on 30 and 31 December 2017, as part of Youngsters on the Air month. There will be an opportunity for licensed visitors to operate the station. If you are an RSGB Member, you can also print a voucher for free entry to Bletchley Park which can be obtained by logging into your Membership Services account at rsgb.org/members. All enthusiasts are welcome to the event, both young and old, licensed or not. If you need more information please email youth.chairman@rsgb.org.uk.

Over the past few years, various members of the Contest Support Committee have been involved in producing a definitive list of past winners of the contest trophies. The collected information is not necessarily complete as some trophies have been awarded for almost 100 years. It is now available on the RSGBCC website. Please do take a look at that page. If you have won a trophy in the past and the information is missing or incorrect, please let us know. You can contact Jacqui, G6XSY by email to trophies@rsgbcc.org.

The South African Radio League will host the 2018 Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) annual camp. This annual event brings together young people from IARU Region 1 and elsewhere for a week, creating an opportunity to learn all about different nationalities and cultures, foster international friendships and goodwill, and learn new amateur radio skills. Several articles on the UK 2017 event at Gilwell Park appeared during the year in RadCom and there are several videos on the RSGB website too.
