Listen out for RSGB President operating as GB5CC

/

The RSGB President, Bob Beebe, GU4YOX, will be operating as GB5CC for this year’s Commonwealth Contest, which takes place on 14 to 15 March 2026.

He will be doing so in memory of former RSGB President, Bob Whelan, G3PJT who sadly became a Silent Key at the end of last year.

Bob Beebe looks forward to making contacts across the Commonwealth and sharing time on the amateur bands to reflect the fellowship, tradition and sense of community that Bob Whelan valued so deeply.
