RSGB Convention Goes Online for 2021

Despite hoping to meet face-to-face again this year, the RSGB Convention in October will again be online.

This major indoor event takes many months to plan and, due to continuing COVID-19 uncertainty, the Society has to make the safety of attendees, volunteers and staff a priority.

We are putting together another program of excellent presentations across two streams that will provide information and inspiration no matter how long you’ve been a radio amateur.

Friedrichshafen Ham Radio Event Online

The annual Friedrichshafen Ham Radio World event due to be held this coming weekend was cancelled due the covid pandemic. However, you can avail yourself of an online replacement in Ham Radio World running from this Friday until Sunday.
