The event is open to all Amateurs who are boaters, cyclists, walkers and other users of the canals, rivers, towpaths, riverbanks for work or recreation. Many clubs and individual Amateurs on or near the UK inland waterways obtain Special Event Station (SES) callsigns. Others operate mobile or portable using their call signs. Many more like to contact the BiWota stations. It is also a good chance for WAB enthusiasts to get some rare WAB squares. The primary bands will be 40m (7MHz) and 2m (144MHz SSB and FM) but all bands will be acceptable. Tell your friends and colleagues, catch you on the air\u2026\u2026.The event aims to bring together Radio Amateurs who regularly use the waterways to celebrate their hobby and raise awareness of the UK waterways.<\/p>\n
