RSGB launches its 2025 Construction Competition

/

The RSGB has launched its Construction Competition for 2025. Entries to this annual competition will again be judged online to allow RSGB members from the UK and across the world to participate and demonstrate their creativity. In line with the Society’s strategic priority of growth, there will be a new Outreach category this year in which members are encouraged to submit a project that can be reproduced in a school or public environment.

The other five categories are beginners, construction excellence, innovation, software and antennas. A cash prize will be awarded for the winner of each section, with a bonus for the overall winner, who will also be declared the recipient of the Pat Hawker G3VA Award. The winner of the beginner category will also receive the Gavin Nesbitt, MM1BXF trophy. The results of the competition will be announced during the 2025 RSGB Annual General Meeting in April.

WRTC and WRL Announce Partnership to Launch New Live Ham Radio Competition Technology

The World Radio Sport Team Championship 2026 (WRTC) and the World Radio League (WRL), have just announced a partnership to launch a new live contesting technology platform in order to bring an innovative and exciting live experience to ham radio.

They score points for each contact they make, with additional points or multipliers for contact with different countries, regions, or using certain radio frequencies (bands).

Tens of thousands of ham radio enthusiasts tune in for ham radio contests every year, but WRTC and WRL are dreaming even bigger - bringing a true eSports quality experience to the world of ham radio.
