SOS Radio Week

| April 26, 2019

SOS Radio Week will take place between 0000UTC on 1 May 2019 and 2359UTC on 31 May 2019.

This annual event has been extended for 2019 to raise awareness of the amazing work that the brave volunteers of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) perform and to honour the volunteer watchkeepers of the National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) who provide eyes around the coast of the UK to observe and report potential disasters unfolding that technology cannot.

Individual amateur radio operators and clubs are invited to register as official SOS Radio Week stations and operate during the month to raise awareness of the invaluable work these two organisations perform.

Stations can be run under individual, club, or special event call signs, from home or other locations.

There are few restrictions as to what can be done when, how, or where, other than to warn participants not to operate within the vicinity of a lifeboat or Coastwatch station without clearing it with them first.

To register to take part, or for further information, please visit sosradioweek.org.uk.
