RSGB Youth Team Launches New Award

/

The RSGB Youth team has created a new award aimed at younger people but it is also open to anyone to try.

Called the Radio Surfer Award, it encourages experimentation with all types of radio communications.

There is a list of possible activities, each with a points value, and all you have to do is get the same number of points as your age.

You don’t have to be licensed to take part although having a licence will give you more options.

For more information about this and the RSGB Youth Award, see the RSGB website - http://www.rsgb.org/youth-award

RSGB's 'Get on the Air to Care' Construction Competition Winners

/

The RSGB’s Get on the air to care construction competition was for projects made during the Autumn 2020 lockdown, the Christmas and New Year holiday period or the early 2021 lockdown.

The Society was delighted to receive 27 entries from 15 entrants and the standard was very high. To reflect this, the judges awarded four prizes rather than choose one winner as originally planned.

The RSGB thanked everyone who entered and congratulates each of the four winners:

  • Gordon Lean, G3WJG (1st prize of £125)

  • Paul Graham, M0PGX (Runner up prize of £75)

  • Laurence Fletcher, G4SXH (3rd prize of £50)

  • Robert Lynch, M0NVQ (Highly commended and receives the RSGB Handbook)

IRTS Awards Nominations

The Irish Radio Transmitters Society Awards Committee is seeking nominations for “Awards for Services to the Society or to Amateur Radio” and for “Awards to IRTS Members for other achievements”.

The winners in the above categories would normally be presented with their inscribed trophy/shield in person at the AGM. However, due to the Corona-19 virus pandemic, the trophies/shields will be inscribed but will not be distributed to the winners except where a winner specifically requests delivery of same.

It is important that our fellow experimenters and operators whose work and effort on behalf of each one of us and for the Society be recognised and rewarded. Please send your nominations for specific awards to the Awards Manager to - holohaj2@hotmail.com
