RSGB representatives attended the Ham Radio exhibition in Friedrichshafen last week.
They used the opportunity to talk to the wider amateur radio community, liaise with international colleagues and raise awareness and support for the Society and amateur radio in the UK.
The team was delighted by the positive response to the RSGB app and international membership and were happy to welcome new members from around the world.
GB2RS newsreader Esther, GI0AZA also attended the event and read the Society’s weekly broadcast from Germany.
Look out for a fuller report on Friedrichshafen in the August issue of RadCom.
