RSGB Outreach Team Launches its First Official DMR Youth Net

/

The RSGB Outreach Team is thrilled to launch its first official DMR Youth Net. The first net will be on Tuesday 30 September at 1900UTC and the RSGB Youth Talk Group 23554 is available on the DVSPh and Brandmeister Networks. Whether you're just starting out or already love getting on the air, this bi-weekly net is your chance to build confidence speaking on the radio, connect with fellow young operators from around the world, and join in without needing to set up antennas at home. Hosted by RSGB Youth Outreach Team Leaders Chris Aitken, MM0WIC and Ben Lloyd, GW4BML, the net is designed to grow with you. As your skills and confidence develop, you could even take the mic and chair future sessions!

We’re also offering loan kits that include a DMR handset and hotspot to help schools and home educators get started.
