RCF Trustee, Andy Webster, G7UHN on inspiring the next generation of radio amateurs

| September 12, 2025

Radio Communications Foundation Trustee, Andy Webster, G7UHN will be at this year’s RSGB Convention to deliver a fascinating lecture on using radio technology to engage and inspire non-radio amateurs. In particular, he will look at this within Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths education settings, using the subject to connect with young people.

Matthew Phillips, G6WPJ will also be at the Convention where he will be discussing the use of low-power software-defined radio to rejuvenate medium- and short-wave broadcasting.

These are two of nearly 50 speakers who will be delivering engaging and topical presentations for Convention attendees.

If this isn’t enough to entice you, visit the Convention web pages where you’ll find details on workshops, a drop-in session on the UK Meteor Beacon Project, and information on the AMSAT-UK Colloquium.

In addition to the usual GB3HQ operation that will run throughout the event, at this year’s Convention a special 145 Alive net will be hosted by GB3HQ from 12pm to 3pm on the Saturday. You will be able to join the net or simply check in on the day and all callers will be recorded in the log.

The Convention takes place at Kents Hill Conference Centre between 10-12 October.
