Also in GB2RS this week…

The RSGB is taking part in December 2020 YOTA Month but the COVID-19 restrictions will make the event very different this year. If you are a parent with a newly-licensed youngster in your family, you can apply to host the call sign GB20YOTA safely from your own home. You must be a Full licence holder to apply for the call sign. You can book an appointment slot within a set calendar shown on the GB20YOTA QRZ.com page. To register your interest, or to reserve an operating slot, contact RSGB YOTA Month Coordinator Jamie, M0SDV via email to yota.month@rsgb.org.uk.

If you are on the lookout for interesting lectures, then a talk given to South Dublin Radio Club could be for you. Joe Ryan, EI7GY gave a presentation on the radio experiments by Colonel Dennis, EI2B, from 1898 to the late 1930s. Find out more at southdublinradioclub.weebly.com.

The RSGB has made available the video of the Introduction to GNU Radio talk by Heather Lomond, M0HMO, which is one of Society’s Tonight @ 8 webinars. It joins all the previous Tonight @ 8 talks and the RSGB 2020 Convention Online talks, so there are many hours of interest for all radio amateurs. Go to youtube.com/theRSGB for all the videos.

The RSGB National Radio Centre (NRC) 80m net continues to run Monday to Friday at 10.30am around 3.727MHz. All NRC volunteers are welcome to join the net and they actively encourage other amateurs to call in as part of the RSGB’s Get on the Air to Care campaign. If you haven’t got an 80m station, why not listen in using one of the many webSDR sites?
