Coming soon – GB0BUS!.. Not just one operating station but three at once!!
GB0BUS will be on the air this Saturday, 17th June, celebrating International Museums on the Air day.
Wythall Radio Club is almost ready for its special event station at the Transport MuseumWythall. A team of operators will be on air throughout the day from 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m as the Club showcases Amateur radio in its many forms: operation will take the form of VHF.. HF (CW/SSB and Digital)- and members will be on hand to give out promotional material for the Club and hobby and answer any questions from the Public
Our ‘BUS’ call-sign suffix celebrates the Museum’s collection of vintage buses, and also the visit of Routemaster Association’s London bus collection on the same weekend.
There is even more for vehicle fans, as that weekend is the 75th anniversary of Morris J-Type vans and many will be on display.
There will be nothing vintage abut the operating team though as they demonstrate the mental agility and stamina required for this type of operation.
But before that on Friday our members will be erecting antennas for multi-band and multi-mode operation. We will also be testing our rigs and associated gear.
We would be delighted to see any member able to come along and say hello and really welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our wonderful Hobby to visitors on the day.
We look forward to seeing you there!!
