The RSGB launches the SES Cookbook

Special Event Stations (SES) are popular around the world, and a great source of fun and excitement for organisers and QSO chasers.

They can also be a fantastic tool for outreach, allowing you to demonstrate amateur radio and encourage people to find out more.

But how do you organise an event to achieve all those objectives?

The RSGB has just launched a new web section that focuses on Special Event Stations.

For RSGB members and Affiliated Clubs, there is an online guide called the SES Cookbook which offers a wide range of practical guidance to help you deliver the best experience for your visitors and the organisers.

The guide covers a wide range of topics, including how to apply for an SES call sign, the stages of the planning process, publicising your event to attract visitors, and how to make a good number of contacts.

For non-RSGB members there is a simple guidance document (PDF) that outlines the main things to consider when planning this type of event.

The new section also draws together existing information about permanent special event stations as well as QSL guidance.

If you’re planning an event for this year, or even for next year, now is the time to make the most of this comprehensive guide. Go to the new web section at rsgb.org/ses to find out more.
