RSGB National Radio Centre – Could you be a Volunteer?

The RSGB National Radio Centre (NRC) welcomes thousands of people through its doors each month and introduces them to amateur radio. The Society needs to expand the team of volunteers and is particularly looking for people who can be part of the team during the week. If you are interested in becoming an NRC volunteer you should enjoy meeting people and be prepared to work a minimum of one, preferably two, days per month. Full training is given.

Please email NRC Coordinator Martyn Baker, G0GMB for further information: nrc.support@rsgb.org.uk

RSGB Convention Presentations on YouTube

The RSGB online Convention’s keynote presentation is now available separately on the Society’s YouTube channel. This inspiring talk by Professor Cathryn Mitchell, M0IBG explores the connections between radio and space, and also looks at the many ways in which everyone can get involved. The seven presentations from the ‘Introduction to’ stream will also be published individually this afternoon so that it will be even easier to find the presentation you’d like to watch. That full day’s stream has received over 5,000 views already with some great reviews. We’ll be releasing the ‘Learn more about’ stream presentations next week.

Watch this video I put together as presented at the QSO Today Expo in March 2021, and discover for yourself the storied history of the ham radio callsign
