The RSGB National Radio Centre<\/strong><\/a> at Bletchley Park is looking to create a new wall display, illustrating some simple radio set-ups, to inspire newcomers to get started in amateur radio. If you would like to have a photo of your radio shack on display, please send in a good quality image, showing you operating your radio, or of your radio bench. The radio shack could be located anywhere from your loft, to your back bedroom, garden shed, in your car, or on a mountain top. Remember, the point of this project is to inspire people to get started in the hobby, so the photos need to show a diverse mix of operators and the radio set-up shouldn\u2019t be overly complex. The most suitable photos will be selected and a montage display created, with the title Take a Look at my Radio Station<\/em>. If you would like to enter, send your photos to nrc.support@rsgb.org.uk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mervyn is a volunteer at the RSGB National Radio Centre<\/strong><\/a>, an RSGB District Representative<\/strong><\/a> and a life-long devotee of Morse code<\/strong><\/a>.
