Suffix /70 permitted for Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

Following a request by the RSGB, Ofcom has indicated that stations wishing to retain their usual Regional Secondary Locator to identify their DXCC entity may use the suffix /70 to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. It is also permitted to use the /70 suffix with the GQ/MQ/2Q prefix if desired. The RSGB would like to thank Ofcom for its support of the Queen’s Jubilee Celebrations.

RSGB Arranges Special RSL for Queen’s Jubilee Celebrations

Ofcom has kindly agreed to an RSGB request that radio amateurs licensed by Ofcom may celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen by using the special RSL ‘Q’.

This will be available for use throughout June 2022 and will require a Notice of Variation that will be available via our website shortly. The Society is also working on other events and activities that it hopes will appeal to a wide range of people. Further details will be released over the coming weeks.
