Also in GB2RS this week…

There are less than two weeks to go until the deadline for the RSGB Construction Competition. There are six categories to enter this year Antennas; Beginners; Most Creative and/or Elegant PCB Design; Construction Excellence; Innovation; and Software and Systems. To enable members from across the country and around the world to enter, entries will once again be judged over the internet, rather than in person. Special recognition will be given to entries submitted by radio amateurs under the age of 24, and to those who have just gained their Foundation licence. A cash prize will be awarded for the winner of each section, with a bonus for the overall winner, who will also be declared the winner of the Pat Hawker G3VA Award. You can find out more, including how to enter, on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/construction-competition. Don’t forget, the deadline for entries is 1 March 2024, so get your entry in before it’s too late.

Lots of amateur radio stations have been on the air this weekend, in conjunction with the The Guide Association, to celebrate World Thinking Day on the Air (TDOTA). The aim of TDOTA is to encourage Guides to make friendships with members of other units, using amateur radio as the means of communication. If you, or your club or society, were on the air during the event don’t forget to send your pictures and stories to radcom@rsgb.org.uk.  Please send your reports in by the 23 March 2024.
