 On
the air with GB75PW
There are more opportunities coming up during October to work GB75PW
- the special callsign issued to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Practical
Wireless magazine.
On Friday 5th October, Rob Mannion, G3XFD, the editor
of Practical Wireless and Tex Swann, G1TEX, PW's Technical
Editor, will be airing the GB75PW callsign at the Ribble Railway
Museum, Preston. They plan to be there all day, and will be operating
mostly on 7 and 14 MHz.
On the Saturday 6th October, they'll be at the Rochdale QRP Convention
- the last one to be held at the Church where Rev. George Dobbs,
G3RJV is the vicar. George retires next year and the event is
moving to another venue.
This event takes place at St Aidan's Church, Sudden, Rochdale, Lancs.
(On A664 Manchester road, 3 mins from M62/J20). Web: http://www.gqrp.com
 Later
in the month, Rob Mannion and the GB75PW callsign travel north of the
border to Scotland. On Thursday the 18th and Friday the 19th of October,
GB75PW will be on the air on from the Kilmarnock and Loudon Amateur
Radio Club in Ayrshire.
Listen out for the callsign on 7 and 14MHz.
Rob is hoping to QSO with as many Practical Wireless readers as possible
during the two day event.
