Also in GB2RS this week…

| October 7, 2022

The Caledonian Rally is an annual event that brings together 13 to 17-year-old Scouts and Guides from all over Scotland. This year the event takes place between 14 and 16 October 2022. Inverness Amateur Radio Society will be running GB2CWR for the event as part of Jamboree on the Air (JOTA). Aberdeen Amateur Radio Society members are helping with the station, but more experienced operators are sought, especially for set up and break down. Email InvernessRadioSociety@gmail.com.

The Royal Air Force Air Cadets will be running the popular Blue Ham Exercise on the 22 and 23 October from 0800 to 1800UTC each day. If you are a UK Full licence holder the hope is that you can set some time aside to take part with the cadets and staff volunteers who will be ready to take your QSOs over the operating period. A Blue Ham participation certificate for amateur operators who contact 20 or more special MRE callsigns will be available. More details at alphacharlie.org.uk.

Member states of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialised agency for information and communication technologies, have elected Doreen Bogdan-Martin, KD2JTX as the organisation’s next Secretary General. She will assume office on 1 January 2023. She will be the first woman to lead the ITU in its 157-year history and only the third Secretary General to hold an amateur radio licence.
