Also in GB2RS this week…
The RSGB has just launched a new video 2022 – A Year in Numbers. It links with the March 2023 RadCom feature which gave an overview of the continuing amateur radio success story of 2022, in which RSGB HQ staff often led the way. You can watch the video on the RSGB YouTube channel. In the April 2023 RadCom you will be able to read in detail the work of the RSGB committees and other specialist volunteers.
After the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Northern Syria on 21 February 2023, BBC’s Digital Planet spoke to Aziz Şasa, who is the President of the Turkish Amateur Radio Association. Aziz explained the vital role of amateur radio as a key communication method in the region. He also talked about how radio amateurs were aiding relief efforts and the use of repeaters for VHF and UHF frequencies. You can hear the interview on BBC Sounds—it starts at two minutes and forty seconds into the broadcast.
