Hi

What a fantastic bank holiday weekend we had at Moira Furnace and Ashby Canal - activating our GX0SRC club call across the air waves. Numerous contacts were maid, and if our records are correct we have won the LOCK award this year. The LOCK award is the highest for the event currently, but I understand that the British Inland Waterways on the Air team, are adding another challenge for 2026!
Lots of members attended the event, helping out with all the essentials: setting up, operating, cooking the snap of bacon and/or sausage butties I've been told, brewing tea closing down, packing away and relocating all kit safe and sound back at the club house. A fun filled, yet tiring experience.
It was a quiet weekend at the Furnace - unusual for a bank holiday - but a few walkers and passers by popped over to find out what the set up was all about.
A pizza delivery and a few cans were consumed on Saturday evening - what a way to live eh!
Look at some of these excellent photos that various members have taken, plus the video from one of our member's drone - M0KPO (he is licenced to fly the drone) - he's very good!

Enjoy.

I shall add photos shortly - sorry

Hi all, just received this great 'thank you' from Prof. Ian, the organiser of RSGB British Science week event.

Prof. Ian Neal, M0KEO
RSGB Communications
Subject: British Science Week piece in RadCom

Hello
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your piece in the June issue of RadCom, celebrating your activities for British Science Week this year.

It was a great piece that really reflected the work that you and your colleagues put in to making your part in BSW go so well. The collection, together, showed the diversity of things that can be done under a banner such as BSW - these activities are hugely valuable even if they don't follow the "theme" of the week; just doing something gets us out there and simply opening your doors and showing what we do is fantastic.

There were more activities going on in BSW than is shown in RadCom, so I'm particularly grateful to you for not only doing the work involved in your own activities, but also putting pen to paper and telling the world all about what you did. It's important.

I'll be back in touch with you (earlier this time) for BSW2006.
With very best wishes
Ian

PLEASE can we do it again? Maybe get the scouts involved?
