Brigades On The Air

Worksop Amateur Radio Society is planning a new ‘On The Air' initiative.

Following on from Museums On The Air, Islands On The Air and Jamboree On The Air, the club wants to launch Brigades On The Air under which radio amateurs would set up special event stations at local fire stations.

The idea was first put forward by ex-fireman Ken and has gained the support of the Worksop club.

The Nottinghamshire Fire Brigade has also agreed in principle to have an annual event staged at its headquarters. Ken said: “We have checked to make sure that our amateur radio equipment does not cause any interference to their equipment.”

The club is planning special Brigades On The Air QSL cards and also a certificate for those who contact the most number of stations. All profits from the initiative will go to the Fire Service Brigade Benevolent Fund.

The Worksop Amateur Radio Society is keen to hear from any other clubs interested in participating in the Brigades On The Air initiative.
