Special Events News – 13 July 2025

On Saturday the 19 July, RSGB Region 1 Representative George, MM0JNL will be hosting special event station GB4KAS at the Kirriemuir Show in Angus, Scotland from 10am to 5pm. This new venture is intended to showcase the RSGB and amateur radio to the agricultural and rural community. It will also allow unlicensed guest operators to have some supervised radio operating time and, hopefully, have their first international radio contact. The station will be operating using SSB on the HF bands and FM on the 2m band. If you hear the operators on the air, give them a call!

GB70RS is the special callsign helping to celebrate 70 years of the RSGB’s News Service, GB2RS. This coming week, the callsign is being aired by Dave, G4IDF on all bands from 80 to 6m, plus 4m and 2m, using SSB and FT8. If you hear Dave, give him a call! A special QSL card is available. See QRZ.com for more details.
