Also in GB2RS this week…

The RSGB has made two safeguarding announcements. Firstly, the Society’s safeguarding policy has been revised in line with modern practices and you can find it on the RSGB website  Secondly, if your club relies on the RSGB’s affiliated club insurance for activities that may have a safeguarding requirement, it is important that you are aware of the conditions in Section 10 of that insurance. You can find the insurance details in your club portal on the RSGB website.

The Radio Society of Harrow is running a one-day classroom-style Foundation course on Saturday 23 March at its venue in Watford. If you know anyone who would like to join the course, please tell them to email Brian, G3YKB at g3ykb@yahoo.co.uk  There will be an optional extra session on the morning of the 24 March.

Following complaints from some members, the RSGB has investigated a problem with non-delivery of RadCom on Guernsey and the Isle of Man. It seems that following changes at Royal Mail, the labelling requirement for these copies was incorrectly applied by the printers and these copies didn’t go through the postal system correctly. The Society is sorry that this error has occurred and apologises for any inconvenience caused. It has, of course, asked its printers to ensure that there is no repetition of this problem, and the printer has paid for the two missing copies to be sent to each RSGB member in those areas. If your RadCom doesn’t arrive in future, please email the RSGB membership team via membership@rsgb.org.uk so they can send a replacement and track any wider problem.

Those who enjoy constructing and operating with low-power devices will be interested to know that a QRP conference is taking part in Rennes in the northwest of France on the 18 May 2024. The event will include lectures and demonstrations and will be an ideal opportunity for the exchange of information between likeminded amateurs. The organisers are putting together a programme of speakers and are looking for contributors on every aspect of low-power design, construction and operating.
