Platinum Jubilee ham radio station GB70U on TV

/

The Guernsey Amateur Radio Society got coverage on ITV and BBC for their special event station for the Platinum Jubilee, GB70U

“Amateur radio is a hobby in which you can communicate with people all over the world.

A lot of stations are aware it’s the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the one thing that has become evident is the affection for the Queen across the world, even in countries which she has no direct control over.

We’ve been speaking with some stations in Brazil last night and we were quite surprised to find that they actually watched the Trooping of the Colour. That’s the same for a lot of other countries and amateurs watching it on the television, it’s amazing.”
