A brand new GB2RS broadcast is now available in Wales. Elliot, MW9IQN is located at the foot of the Cambrian Mountains. He transmits the GB2RS News on 145.525MHz FM each Sunday at 5pm with good coverage to the west coast. At present, Elliot is using quite low power and is broadcasting in English. However, a power increase is planned and, if requested, he would be pleased to additionally broadcast the script in Welsh. If you are in mid-Wales, take a listen for this new GB2RS broadcast and give Elliot a call during his post-news net. A number of other broadcasts can be received in Wales, notably Brian, GW6VEI who covers Wales from St Asaph on 3650kHz LSB at 10.30am. The full Broadcast Schedule can be downloaded at rsgb.org/gb2rsschedule.
