On the Road with PW

Practical Wireless editor Rob Mannion G3XFD always enjoys meeting readers of Practical Wireless, and often tours the country visiting amateur radio clubs throughout the United Kingdom

More opportunities to work GB75PW

There's a few more opportunities to work GB75PW this week. GB75PW is the special event station marking the 75th anniversary of Practical Wireless magazine.

The first of these opportunities is on Tuesday, when PW editor Rob Mannion, G3XFD, pays a visit to the Barry Amateur Radio Society in South Wales.

GB75PW will be operational all day from their superb h.f. site (which boasts some amazing antennas) alongside the Bristol channel - a site that offers great take-offs over the South Atlantic. That evening, Rob will be attending the club's regular weekly meeting. Visitors are most welcome to attend.

On Wednesday, and still in Wales, Rob will be paying a visit to the Blackwood Amateur Radio Society who, like PW, are also celebrating their 75th anniversary. The club meets at Cross Keys College near Blackwood. Once again, visitors to the club can expect a warm welcome.

On Saturday, there's a second chance to work GB75PW as the callsign is aired by members of the Poole Radio Society throughout the day.

The Society will also be hosting GB75PW again on Saturday, 15th September

If you work GB75PW, QSL cards are available either by sending an SAE to the PW offices, or via the bureau.
