Also in this weeks GB2RS…
This year is the 25th anniversary of the international Lighthouse and Lightship weekend that will take place next weekend, the 20 and 21 August. The event runs for 48 hours and, as this news script was prepared, there are 325 stations registered for this year from Argentina to Malta and The Netherlands to Wales. Some are stations that have operated many times before, others like TM59LH are taking part for the first time. This station will operate from the Sandettie Light Vessel in Dunkirk Harbour.
Earlier this year, the IARU Region 1 invited amateurs to come up with an idea that could lead to more licensed radio amateurs. They have now announced the results. Joint first place was awarded to Nestor, 5B4AHZ and Christian, HB9FEU. Nestor’s idea is the Ham Radio Escape Room that is a radio-based escape room with amateur radio themes and played with teams communicating via radio. Christian’s idea was a public database of fun projects for innovation where those with little or no experience and equipment could still take part. Read the full story on the website where you can find out more about these projects and the other prize winners.
