Wythall Radio Club member on BBC (sort of!)
Rob 2E0MEX contemplating buying a new rig!
Regular readers of this website will know that quite a few members of Wythall Radio Club have had a lot of media publicity, especially in the last year or two.
Well here is a slightly sideways appearance on local TV, courtesy of Rob 2E0MEX.
In a recent BBC Midlands Today piece, our friends at Coventry Amateur Radio Club put on a special event station to commemorate the birth of Birmingham comedian Tony Hancock (GB8TH) and ran it from his birthplace in Hall Green – and the first callsign they are heard working is… you guessed it… Rob 2E0MEX!
Of course, this comes as no surprise to Wythall members – Rob is one of the most active members on 144 MHz FM, especially on our club channel of 145.225 MHz. He works as a courier and is often out and about mobile, so has many opportunities to get on the air.
Nonetheless, rather a nice little mention of his callsign on the BBC. Well done, Rob!
