Also in GB2RS this week…

The RSGB has continued to release content from its recent Convention. Watch the Meet the Board session and hear an update on the Society’s strategy, as well as an outline of next steps and some important RSGB roles that need the right volunteers to step forward. These include four Board Director and three Regional Representative vacancies, for which nominations open next week. An in-depth interview about polar modulation is also available to watch; listen to Hans Summers, G0UPL, Mike Walker, VA3MW and Stewart Bryant, G3YSX sharing their thoughts about how this exciting technology is being applied within amateur radio. You can see these and more in the RSGB 2025 Convention playlist on the RSGB YouTube channel.

If you’ve been involved with Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) this year, the RSGB would love to hear from you. You have until Thursday, 13 November 2025 to submit your report and photos to radcom@rsgb.org.uk and be included in the special JOTA feature in the January 2026 edition of RadCom.

Essex CW Activity Week starts on Sunday, 9 November 2025 and runs until Saturday, 15 November 2025. This is a friendly non-contest style event to encourage both experienced and new Morse operators. Slow-speed Morse operators are especially welcome. While the aim is to contact as many radio amateurs as possible in a week, it is hoped that a QSO goes beyond just an exchange of signal reports and becomes a CW chat for as long a duration as you wish. Anyone who works at least 25 other stations qualifies for a free award certificate. Lots more information, including preferred operating frequencies, can be found at essexcw.uk/activity-week.
