The Isle of Man Amateur Radio Society will be operating the club callsign GT3FLH from the Isle of Man Sea Terminal building in Douglas on Saturday, 25 and Sunday, 26 February 2023 between 11am and 3pm. The callsign will be active to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Douglas being the first radar-controlled harbour in the world. FT8, CW and SSB modes will be used on the HF bands from 40m and upwards. If the weather is inclement, operation will be from the club HQ at the Scout Hall in Ballasalla.

This Sunday, 19 February 2023, is the second day of the British Amateur Television Club’s (BATC) monthly activity weekend. The event is aimed at getting more people on the air, either from home or a nearby high spot, to promote this exciting part of the hobby. This month, activity on 23cm and upwards is planned. Participants are encouraged to post details of where they are going to be, and what time they’ll be on the air, on the BATC forum. You can view the posts at forum.batc.org.uk. Everyone is welcome and you don’t need to be a member to take part.
