Historic callsign returns to air soon

GB2SM, the permanent callsign of the former Science Museum amateur radio station in London, will shortly be back on the air.

It will be based at the Science Museum’s Swindon site.
A unique arrangement has been made between the Science Museum and the Swindon and District Amateur Radio Club.

The Notice of Variation for the callsign will be held by the club on behalf of the Science Museum.

GB2SM will be used in partnership with the Science Museum at events and activities that specifically promote the Science Museum and communications inspired projects. For this purpose the callsign will be treated as a Special Event Callsign rather than a permanent call.

Should a permanent amateur radio station be re-established at the London site the callsign would automatically revert to the permanent station.
