Also in GB2RS this week…

The next in the series of the popular 145 Alive events—to promote the use of 145MHz FM—is coming up on Saturday, 11 May 2024, from 1pm to 3pm. The event and the supporting Facebook Group was started by Tim, G5TM, and from the start of 2024 has been organised by Mark, M0XIC and John, M0XJA. The last successful event took place in January this year, when over 30 nets operated simultaneously across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Over 900 QSOs took place with many amateurs operating portable, mobile, or from their club or home QTH. If you would like to take part, and find out more about the event and 145 Alive in general, then join the 145 Alive Facebook Group.

Next weekend, 11 and 12 May 2024, lots of amateur radio stations take to the air as part of Mills on the Air Weekend 2024. The event takes place across the UK every May with more than 300 windmills and watermills usually taking part. For more information, to register, and to view a list of registered stations, visit ddars.net/mills.html.
