RSGB affiliated school club: Heritage School Electronics and Radio Club

Heritage School in Cambridge is home to Heritage School Electronics & Radio Club (G7HSC).

We spoke with Jon Bonsor-Matthews, M0NOJ, teacher and club leader, and heard why he chose to affiliate with the RSGB.

Why did you choose to affiliate your school’s club with the RSGB?

Primarily for the QSL Bureau, and also for sharing RadCom.

How would you say RSGB affiliation benefitted your club?

The students are enthused when they get to take a RadCom home. Fingers crossed QSL cards will start to arrive soon!

Which of the affiliated club benefits have you made use of?

Each month a different student gets to take the latest edition of printed RadCom home.

We like to have our club’s activities promoted to inspire others, although our students love to read about themselves too!

We are making use of the QSL Bureau, and we know that by affiliating our club to the RSGB, we are helping to protect the spectrum for future generations.

What would you say to another school club considering whether to affiliate with the RSGB?

The students have loved reading about their activities and those of other youngsters in RadCom. We have a map in school on a pinboard, to track our QSLs and are looking forward to pinning up QSL cards as we receive them.
