Today sees the start of an addition to the GB2RS schedule and list of readers. We welcome Jim, G4AEH and Reg, G8VHI. Jim is better known for reading the news on Radio 4, while Reg returns as a newsreader, having stopped in October 1985 on joining the RAF. The time will be at 20:30 on 145.525MHz. Reg will be the main reader and has put down the coverage area as Central England. Reg lives in a super location and expects to have a huge footprint.
