Special Event Station: GB0RLP – Remembering Lee Paston
On Air: 28th July – 6th August | CAMP ROC: 7th–9th August

I’ll be operating a Special Event Station GB0RLP in memory of our friend and fellow amateur, Lee Paston (2E0RLP), who sadly went Silent Key recently.

Lee was a true friend to all in the Cornwall amateur radio community – known for his kindness, dry humour, and unwavering enthusiasm for CAMP ROC.

Evening Nets on GB3NC
From Sunday 28th July to Tuesday 6th August, I’ll be on GB3NC every night from 2130 (and into the night) – just like Lee and I used to do. Let’s bring some life back to the repeater and remember him together. Please note: there will be NO Thursday evening nets during this period. My thanks to Mike G4WVD as always for the use of GB3NC.

CAMP ROC Weekend: 7th–11th August
During CAMP ROC, GB0RLP will be active across the bands all weekend. If you're attending, come say hello – on-air or in person.

Whether you knew Lee personally, or simply recognised the voice of 2E0RLP on the bands, please feel free to check in.

Most other amateur radio clubs cancel events in yellow weather warnings.... but not GX8ROC 😆

A fantastic weekend for our infamous spring campROC. Great company, food, beer and ofcourse, plenty of radio!!

Thankyou to all our ROCstar members for an unforgettable event! 🤟

📣As part of its modernisation of the exams systems, we've introduced online forms for reporting possible errors found in exam questions:
➡️The first is for exam candidates to formally challenge questions in actual exams, where the outcome of a challenge may affect a candidate’s result
➡️The second form is for informal queries of published exam questions, for example in mock exams. These can be submitted by anyone

To access the forms 👉 rsgb.org/exam-challenges
