Also in GB2RS this week…

The RSGB is looking for volunteers for two new roles—RSGB Lecture Chair and RSGB Social Diversity Officer. The deadline for applications is Monday, 16 January 2023. Full details of both roles, including how to apply, can be found at rsgb.org/volunteers.

Does your school or college run an amateur radio club? Or are you interested in setting up a club at your school or college? Following the success of University Corner—the RSGB’s online list of universities with amateur radio clubs—the Society has launched School Zone. This brings together details of schools and colleges that have an active amateur radio club. If your school or college has a club and would like to be included in the online list, please send details to comms@rsgb.org.uk.  Contact details should include the club callsign—if it has one—the school website URL, and an email address for the teacher or adult who runs the club. If you are a pupil member of the club, please check those details before you send them to the RSGB. You can find the new School Zone webpage at rsgb.org/school-zone.

The RSGB’s Transatlantic Centenary Tests runs throughout December to celebrate the centenary of the first amateur radio signals to cross the Atlantic. There are awards available for working the special stations. Over 40,000 QSOs were made in the first week. There are still opportunities to get involved, so go to rsgb.org/tct to book an operating slot.

The RSGB’s RadCom team is looking for authors to contribute to the magazine. Previously unpublished features and articles are always welcome for consideration. At the moment, the team is particularly interested in hearing from people who enjoy writing about antennas. To contact the RadCom team please email radcom@rsgb.org.uk.
