The Coronation of The King and the Queen Consort

To celebrate the Coronation, your Society planned some events and also created activity suggestions for how radio amateurs can mark the Coronation in their own way.

Some of these activities were just for radio amateurs, but in keeping with the Coronation theme of community we included several outreach ideas where radio amateurs can involve their local communities.

Please note that the special call sign GB23C, stopped being available for use on Friday 30 June. The availability of special call signs GB23BAA to GB23BZZ, used for Beaconnect events, also ended at the same time. The optional ‘R’ Coronation regional secondary locator prefix is also no longer available for use.

• Celebratory callsigns, prefixes and suffixes
• GB23C – A Flagship Special Event Station in Greenwich, London (this callsign can be booked by RSGB members and clubs after 10 May until 30 June 2023)
• Beaconnect – connecting the ancient fire beacon sites around the UK by amateur radio with special callsigns GB23BAA to BZZ available
• The Coronation and Beaconnect Awards
• Activity ideas
• A special QSL card to download and print
