Herts & Essex Amateur Radio Society will be active with callsign GB0MHF (Much Hadham Forge Museum) for International Museums Weekend on 28 & 29th June 2026. This event also coincides with the village open garden scheme on the Sunday so lots to see – the museum, the gardens and Amateur radio
From the organisers…
The intention of the event is to set up amateur radio special event stations at as many of the museums as possible throughout the whole of the world. I would hope for an HF, VHF, and if at all possible, a Ui-View (APRS) packet station to be set up at each museum site, but the scope of your station is entirely up to you. The choice of museum is also left very much up to you, however aim for the largest and/or most unusual site you can find.
The museums taking part over the years have included ships, castles, air museums, Napoleonic forts, pumping stations, wireless museums, racing museums and many others. For the purposes of the event, the word ‘museum’ is loosely interpreted. There really is no shortage of venues in which such an event can be staged, no matter where in the world you might live.
