Dementia Awareness Week Amateur Radio Special Event

Dementia Awareness Week is run by Alzheimer Scotland from 3 to 9 June.

Peter, MM0NQY will be running GB2DAW during this time to help raise the worldwide amateur community’s awareness of dementia.

Operating from the Shetland Islands, Scotland, on various bands and times, Peter hopes that the end result may be a worldwide net where operators with dementia could talk to each other.
