\u00a0Meet Chuck, WS1L (USA)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How long have you been licensed?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Since March 1983.<\/h4>\n

And how long have you been a member of the RSGB?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I joined the RSGB in May 2022. I was at the Dayton Hamvention and got chatting with someone at the RSGB booth and signed up on the spot.<\/h4>\n

What would you say is the best thing about RSGB membership?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I believe in supporting the organisations that support our hobby. I also hold the RadCom magazine in high regard.<\/h4>\n

Have you used the RSGB app to view RadCom?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I have used the digital versions but I enjoy the printed versions more.<\/h4>\n

What would you say to someone considering whether to join the RSGB?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Don’t hesitate. We are stronger together and the more members, the more influence we can have over things that may impact our hobby.<\/h4>\n

Which is your favourite mode?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I am a dedicated HF CW operator, and enjoy rag-chew QSOs almost every day. I was in the UK this past September and was able to operate from GB3RS, which was a highlight of the trip. (The photo above shows Chuck operating CW at the RSGB National Radio Centre<\/a><\/strong> at Bletchley Park).<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
