A Special Radio Wave for the Queen
The John O'Groat Journal reports the Caithness Amateur Radio Society (CARS) held a contact event in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee on the weekend of 25/26 June 2022.
During the month of June, radio clubs were allowed to add the Q phonetic to their call sign – so Caithness club became Mike Queen zero Foxtrot November Romeo, MQ0FNR instead of MS0FNR.
CARS club secretary, Nigel Mansfield, said: "With thanks to Shirley Farquhar and the trust committee of the Castle of Mey we were allowed to operate from the castle grounds, thus giving the event a royal connection.
The club aims to promote amateur radio activities with like-minded amateur radio operators, constructors (present and future) and short wave listeners. CARS is always interested in finding new members.
