Also in GB2RS this week…

The RSGB has released two more 2019 Convention lecture videos to its YouTube channel. Chris Duckling, G3SVL talks about Lessons from the 6Gs VK9XG DXpedition, while Tony Canning, G2NF discusses Urban QRM; What can I do?

Region 1 of the IARU attended the virtual meeting of one of the high-level CEPT Frequency Management Working Group in the past week. Amongst the topics discussed were Ukraine joining the T/R-61-02 HAREC reciprocal licensing scheme, as well as the next steps for updating the European Common Allocation Table and wireless power regulatory framework.  More information can be found on the IARU Region 1 website.

The Software Defined Radio Academy, supported by the German national society, is taking place as an online conference spanning two days, 26 and 27 June 2020. The stream is starting in the afternoon. The talks are pre-recorded, but the speakers will be available via the video conferencing system with time for the speakers to respond to questions. The organisers look forward to welcoming amateurs at youtube.sdra.io.

The IARU Monitoring System Region 1 monthly newsletter is now available. It includes reports from RSGB Intruder Watch Coordinator, Richard Lamont, G4DYA, on pages six, seven and eight. The newsletter summarises that May 2020 was similar to the previous months, but now also in the higher bands some intruders were observed due to the somewhat better conditions at times. Most of the coordinators reported intruders predominantly in the 20m and 40m band.

It is great to see amateur radio still being profiled on the wider media as the momentum of our Get on the air to care campaign with the NHS continues to grow. Thank you to everyone who is showing their support by getting on the air, caring for other radio amateurs and trying new aspects of amateur radio. More details can be seen at rsgb.org/gota2c.
