Our radio club VARC will be operating as a net controller from the cabin on the 18th April from 12:00 to 3pm taking VR offline while we do. Let’s operate the club call and get on the air. Any volunteers for a shift? Can always take turns helping each other log. Get in touch via our General WhatsApp group, or contact Greg M0YGL via email – qso@m0ygl.co.uk.
To encourage activity on the 2m band, the 145 Alive team has introduced 145 Alive 50. The trial period for this initiative runs until the 18th of April. The rules are simple. Call CQ on the calling channel and have at least one QSO per day on the 2m band. Record your contacts and send your log for 50 or more days, in ADIF format, to 145aliveuk@gmail.com Electronic certificates will be supplied by the 145 Alive team to successful applicants.
The event predominantly features FM but some SSB stations will also be operating.
