Also in GB2RS this week…

Do you belong to your local u3a group? Are you keen to share your passion for amateur radio with others? As part of the RSGB’s commitment to grow the hobby, the Society would love to hear from RSGB members who would like to spread the word to local u3a groups. As we all know, getting involved in amateur radio provides the opportunity to gain a new interest, learn different skills and form social connections, which fits well with u3a’s ethos. Register your interest to join an RSGB Teams meeting sometime in September 2024 to discuss ideas for engaging u3a groups. Please email strategy@rsgb.org.uk if you’d like to be involved.

The RSGB Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) representative Rhys Williams, M0WGY, arrived in Prague, Czechia on Friday, 16 August 2024 for this year’s YOTA summer camp. The camp is organised by the IARU Region 1 Youth Working Group, together with the Czech Radio Club, and finishes on Friday the 23 August. These camps offer participants an unforgettable experience and are a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn more about amateur radio, take part in construction activities, and make international friendships. To keep up-to-date with how Rhys is getting on, you can go to the website and read his daily blog. You can also follow his journey by visiting the RSGB on its Facebook and X pages.

Don’t forget that International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend (ILLW) is taking place at the moment. There are lots of operators on the air so why not give them a call? To see a list of registered stations, visit illw.net.
