Also in GB2RS this week…

Now is the time to consider whether you could help your fellow radio amateur. In the coming weeks and months RSGB will be releasing details of various volunteer vacancies. These include joining the RSGB Board, becoming a Regional Manager, or taking a position in one of the many committees that are essential to the services RSGB provides to, and on behalf of, its Members. Some of the positions are appointments; some, such as the Board and Regional Managers, are filled through an election process. RSGB encourages any amateur from any walk of life to consider whether you can add something back into the hobby you enjoy. More details of the openings will be published in RadCom, in GB2RS and on the Society’s website and social media.

ITU-R Working Party 5A met in Geneva recently to prepare for World Radiocommunications Conference 2019 (WRC-19) by considering an allocation of the frequency band 50-54 MHz to the amateur service in Region 1. The working party consists of a mix of radio amateurs from all three IARU regions, administrations from all over the world and other interested parties like meteorologists and military. The RSGB was represented by Murray Niman, G6JYB.
