RSGB Contest Committee Agree to Accept Portable Entries

/

The RSGB Contest Committee has announced it will accept portable entries in contests by stations in England from 29th March 2021

“As usual, when we approach a significant change in the COVID restrictions in England, we’ve started to receive some queries around how this will impact portable contesting.

We are continuing to apply the principle of simply requiring stations to strictly follow their local COVID restrictions and advisories. Therefore, from 29th March, as the ‘Stay at Home’ restriction is removed in England, we will once again accept portable entries from stations in England.

Portable multi-operator entries must normally be from the same household/bubble as typical portable locations, camper vans, cars and tents are considered indoors and indoor mixing of households is still not allowed.”
