Also in GB2RS this week…

This Sunday, 20 August 2023, John, GW3JVB is operating from Steep Holm Island in the Bristol Channel. The Worked All Britain square for the location is ST26 and the IOTA reference is EU-120. John hopes to be operational from approximately 1000UTC to 1930UTC. Using SSB, he is most likely to be working on 40 and 20m, but may also be available on other bands, depending on the weather and conditions. If you hear John on the air, please give him a call. You can read more about John’s amateur activities on his blog at gw3jvb.uk.

International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend (ILLW) is taking place this weekend. There are lots of stations on the air waiting for your call. To see a list of registered stations, visit illw.net.

Neil Bauers, G4JUV has created Camper Ham UK on Facebook. It is for anyone who likes camping and operating their radios, both licensed and shortwave listeners. Motorhomes, vans, caravans, tents and bivvy bags are all OK. Just take a radio! As well as the usual technical discussions about radios and antennas, the group is interested in antenna-friendly camping sites and good spots for portable operation. In the future there may be meetups organised by group members. For more information search for ‘Camper Ham UK’ on Facebook.
