RSGB 2022 Convention Livestream

This year the RSGB is producing its first hybrid Convention. Some of the presentations will be livestreamed each day to give a taste of the variety on offer if you attend a Convention in person. In addition to the presentations, the livestream will include:

  • Convention chats with influential amateur radio leaders

  • Informal interviews with RSGB Board Directors

  • An opportunity to find out more about the SIG (Special Interest Groups) attending the Convention

  • A chance to meet the new RadCom editorial team

  • Snippets from delegates about why they have chosen to be at the Convention this year

There will also be times to have a coffee, take a break, see live operating of GB3HQ and watch some inspiring short videos to encourage you to try different amateur radio skills. For the full programme see the RSGB’s Convention livestream web page at http://www.rsgb.org/livestream

Bicycle Mobile Competition at Ham Radio Event

A 144 MHz bicycle mobile competition will take place during this year's DNAT amateur radio event

It will not have escaped anyone's attention that from 25-28 August 2022 the German Dutch Amateur Radio Days (DNAT) event will be organized again. But do you also know that the organization is once again offering a bicycle mobile competition this year?

This special competition starts on Saturday 27th August 2022 at 10:30 am. The place of departure is the DNAT campsite "Am Badepark". All additional information such as the rules, questions to be answered, proposed route and log sheets can be found - https://dnat.de/mobilcontest/

So take your bike to Bad Bentheim to participate in this bicycle mobile contest. And that may well be a bit more modern than in the photo with this article. During this competition we only work on the 2 meter band. Fortunately, there are no long-wire antennas between bicycles to fear.
