And the highlight, for me at least, was the ham radio station GB3RS. Fully operational and served 7 days a week, 363 days a year, by more than 60 RSGB volunteers. Very impressive service, excellent station and radio exhibits.
Thanks to Laurie, Victor and ? for the nice chat. 🙂 -

A message from a recently-retired RSGB director on the Workshop group, openly stating that anyone who "complains too much" or "[who the Board feels] is unduly negative" is "put on a Vexatious Members/Complainants list and ignored".
To me that explains so much about how the #RSGB has ended up in the state it's in.

Yet another example of grumpy old hams making it difficult for starting hams, just because they can. Gatekeeping at its best.

Time for a #cupoftea before I give a talk at @G4SKM about the #RSGB #Brickworks scheme.

Well that's a fucking slap in the face from the #RSGB. (Yes, I am all over the place with radio tech at the moment.)
Online licence exams are not available to Linux users. Pretty arse-backward for a society that started as tinkerers, inventors, and innovators.

Just back from a 2 day binge-dive into operating a handful of different #WebSDR radio receivers, as a returning #radio #amateur. Picking up the hobby again after 20 years of parenting and jobbing.
Now waiting for #RSGB to get back to me, to hopefully verify the callsign I chose 25 years ago, so I can renew it.

Looking for #recommendations for #usb #wideband #radio #receiver please. Interested in #VLF up to a few #GHz, mostly want to hear #sferics, #hamradio, #shortwave, #solar, #jovian and any curiosities besides.
Would one single #SDR receiver span all that comfortably? Could it be used with some sort of computer visualisation software to watch the passband go by over time?
Got my #RSGB M-class callsign over 20 years ago, now curious about RF again :)

Another successful UKAC night, this time on 13cms. We can only use this band when the weather is agreeable, which it was on Tuesday evening! #UKAC #RSGB #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #13cm

This headline made me do a double-take, until I realised it was #RoadSafety Great Britain rather than #RSGB (#radio society of Great #Britain) for #RadioAmateurs - TBH if any #hams *are* pulled up for #DUI (unless they are prog-rock loving #hippies who still indulge now and then , which isn't that uncommon round here, quite a few #seniors been nicked recently) its more likely to be happen due to #drugs they got prescribed legally for age-related health conditions (usually #benzodiazepines and #opiates) than #partydrugs (beware - even a legal prescription is *not* a "get out of jail free" card, and an OM who ends up mounting the kerb trying to adjust his VFO whilst driving might well be swabbed / blood tested)

Last night we took part in the SHF UKAC contest on the 13cms band.
We were set up near the pub as we don't have any 13cms kit in the shack.
This is the second month in a row we have done this. Not as busy this time but still fun to use a band many members don't get to try too often! #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #SHF #UKAC #RSGB #13cms #2.3ghz -
We tried using a Flex 6400 at G3PYE for the #rsgb 80m SSB contest a couple of weeks ago for the first time - only to find no audio from the headset mic.
Two headsets, same problem. Headset on the Elecraft K3 worked fine.
Just found the issue: Sennheiser connect tip to ring on the mic jack. Flex connect ring to shield on the mic socket.
Solved with a short adaptor cable which I must now try not to loose before the next contest... #hamr

Get involved with the RSGB LoRa high-altitude balloon challenge
I like the look of the #RSGB LoRo high altitude balloon challenge.
The project has been developed by the RSGB Outreach team and takes place on Saturday 20 September. #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio

Argh, the RSGB are creating an App to provide electronic versions of RadCom, RadCom Plus, RadCom Basics and the back catalogue of RadCom.
We have a pair of wonderful technologies called The World Wide Web, and the PDF standard, perhaps you have heard of them? They are necessary and sufficient, and can be quite future-proof, highly accessible, searchable, archivable - and do not discriminate against those who do not want, or do not have the latest tech that supports Apps.

From the #RSGB on FB: “The centenary of the world’s very first trans-global two-way #radio communication is this Friday 18 October.
To commemorate this historic contact, special callsigns are active, and awards and #QSLcards will be available. On Friday, radio amateurs will also be recreating and re-enacting the first contact between Goyder and Bell.”

If you’re doing #SSBFieldDay today, good luck, and listen out for #G1CAR - MastCar Amateur Radio Club. We’ll be operating from a vineyard in Oxfordshire, because that’s how we roll! 🍷 #HamR #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #AmateurFunk #RSGB #RadioSport #MastCar #MastCarARC
