Special Event Station GB0GIG (Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol)

Dragon Amateur Radio Club and North Wales Radio Society are pleased to announce their collaboration to run the special event station GB0GIG (Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol), which is Welsh for National Health Service. The aim of the station is to thank all the NHS workers in Wales for their strength and hard work in tackling the Covid – 19 pandemic and also to keep in touch with fellow amateurs in ‘lockdown’ whilst promoting the Radio Society of Great Britain ‘GOTA2C – Get On The Air 2 Care’ campaign.

The station will be active on HF, VHF and UHF using as many modes as possible, as often as possible from the 1st until the 28th of May, being operated from the homes of club members. Thanks to the United Kingdom’s telecommunications agency OFCOM, we have been given the unique permission to allow Foundation and Intermediate licence holders to run the station without direct physical supervision and they will run the call sign with their permitted power levels of 10 and 50 Watts. Therefore if the signal is a little weaker than you may expect, have patience and I am sure they will work you!
