Are you studying for your Foundation or Intermediate level exam? Did you know that the RSGB recently released three new mock exams for each level? The new papers take into account all the changes to the syllabus and exam question bank that have been made since the last sets of mock exam papers were published. Make sure you are using these latest versions for your revision by going to rsgb.org/mock-exams.

The famous Grimeton Radio Station will be on the air on Sunday, 5 July 2026. The unique Alexanderson alternator—with callsign SAQ—is scheduled for two transmissions on 17.2kHz using CW. At 0830UTC, the alternator will be started up, and at 0900UTC the first transmission will take place. A second transmission is scheduled for 1300UTC. You can read more about the event and the historic transmitter at alexander.n.se.

And finally, don’t forget to listen out for all the amateur stations that will be on the air for International Museums on the Air this Sunday, 28 June 2026. For more information about the event, visit the International Museums Weekends website.
