Bishop Auckland ARC to co-ordinate National Railways on the Air Weekend

Bishop Auckland ARC is co-ordinating the National Railways on the Air Weekend that will take place on 26 and 27 September.

This date celebrates the anniversary of the first steam powered passenger railway.

If you would like to take part by running a station, approach your nearest preserved railway, ask if they would they like to have an amateur radio station as part of their event to promote awareness of their railway.

Once you have their agreement, apply for a special event licence in the usual way with Ofcom.
When you have the details of the station, please register at www.barac.m0php.net.

Many groups have already registered so listen out for those special event stations.
