Special call sign GB70RS celebrates 70 years of GB2RS

| January 31, 2025

The RSGB’s weekly news broadcast GB2RS is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.

As part of the celebrations, special callsign GB70RS is active throughout the year. The call sign is being operated by radio amateurs who help to deliver GB2RS each week and could include Newsreaders and RSGB Headquarters staff.

You can listen out for operators on all modes and all bands, with activity taking place at any time, although you are particularly likely to hear them before and after the GB2RS broadcasts. Find out more via the GB70RS page at QRZ.com

If you’d like to learn more about the weekly news service, and other celebratory activity taking place this year, watch January’s Tonight@8 webinar, which is available on the Society’s YouTube channel.
