Amateur radio will feature at the Electromagnetic Field EMF 2026 event taking place from 16 to 19 July at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Eastnor, Ledbury, Herefordshire, HR8 1EN.

AMSAT-UK, the British Amateur Television Club and the UK Microwave Group are teaming up to showcase satellite communications, amateur television and microwave radio experimentation.

Throughout the weekend, they will demonstrate how radio amateurs communicate via satellites in both low-earth orbit and geostationary orbit, including contacts and digital amateur television via the QO-100 satellite.

They also hope to demonstrate microwave operating techniques and experimental radio systems used on the higher amateur bands.

Visitors can see live satellite ground station set-ups, microwave equipment, an amateur television demonstration and learn how hobbyists build and operate space-related radio technology.

Special event callsign GB26EMF will also be active on site. If you are attending the event, drop by to explore satellites, video over radio and the microwave spectrum.
