GB70RS

The RSGB’s weekly news broadcast GB2RS is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. As part of the celebrations, special callsign GB70RS is active throughout the year. The call sign is being operated by radio amateurs who help to deliver GB2RS each week and could include Newsreaders and RSGB Headquarters staff. You can listen out for operators on all modes and all bands, with activity taking place at any time, although you are particularly likely to hear them before and after the GB2RS broadcasts.
