The Sunday transmissions of the GB2RS propagation bulletins in Morse code have now ceased. These broadcasts have been faithfully transmitted for some years from the station of Gwyn, G4FKH, four times each Sunday and many operators have been very grateful for this service. The cessation of these transmissions has accelerated our intention to expand the Morse broadcasts of the main GB2RS news, which includes the propagation report, on Sundays. The extent to which this can be achieved depends on how many keen CW operators would care to join us in providing this completely new service. It would consist of several HF Morse broadcasts of the GB2RS main news bulletin spread throughout the day and transmitted at Morse speeds varying from about 14 to 30 words per minute.
Signal reports together with suggestions to improve the service are, as always, greatly valued.
Now a note for your diary. The annual Microwave Roundtable takes place on the 14th of October at Government Communication Headquarters in Cheltenham. For government security reasons at GCHQ, no one will be allowed entry unless they are already on the list of attendees. For an application form please write, enclosing a stamped self-addressed envelope, to Peter Day, G3PHO, whose address is correct in the current RSGB Yearbook. Pirate on the Air Alert Mike Parker, G4IUF, reports that the station currently signing 3A0FC is a pirate.
