SOS Week for the RNLI

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution provides a 24-hour life saving service in the seas and waters around the coast of the UK and Ireland.

To go on saving lives at sea means training and equipping their volunteer crews and SOS Radio Week is the perfect opportunity for radio amateurs to lend their support to this charity.

SOS Radio Week starts at 0000 on 24 January 2009 and ends at 2359 on 30 January, the RNLI's own SOS Fund Raising Day.

To take part all you need to do is decide whether you want to operate as a team or on your own, get as many sponsors as you can in the lead up to the event, during the event make as many contacts as you can and after the event, convert the sponsors and contacts made in to money.

Registrations from groups, or individuals can be made at www.sosradioweek.org.uk.
