RSGB NAMES TOP WINNERS IN 'CLUB OF THE YEAR' COMPETITION
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Three amateur radio clubs in the UK are feeling mighty
proud right now. Jeremy Boot, G4NJH, tells us why.
JEREMY: The Radio Society of Great Britain has announced the top three
winners in its National Club of the Year competition for 2018. Top
honours went to the Hilderstone Radio Society in Region 10, followed by
the Bushvalley Amateur Radio Club in Region 8. Third place went to Essex
Ham in Region 12.
The Hilderstone society, which meets in Margate, notes on its website
that it is a repeat award-winner, having previous received club of the
year honours in its region for 2013, 2014, and 2015. The Bushvalley club
has been meeting since 2008, and meets on the last Thursday of each
month, according to its website. Essex Ham began in 2011, developing from
a website created to assist new holders of Foundation licences, and now
supports local area clubs as well.
The awards were made at the society's National Hamfest held in Newark on
the 27th and 28th of September.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeremy Boot, G4NJH.

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: While we're on the subject of commercial broadcasting,
there's a welcome spot on the amateur bands where hams gather to share
their stories about their lives as DJs in the 1960s. Let's hear more
from Mike Askins, KE5CXP.
MIKE: If you're a former commercial radio rock music DJ from the 60s,
who's rocking the airwaves now on the amateur frequencies instead, here
are two opportunities for you to "REWIND" that classic tape. The 1960s
Pop-Rock Music and TV Shows Net, meets two nights a week and after
check-in, you get to share and hear some Tales from Top 40, and engage
in some friendly trivia competition with kindred spirits. The formally
directed net meets Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time in the
U.S. on the W7EI-L EchoLink Node, and locally on the 147.220 repeater
from Prescott, Arizona. It also meets on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m Mountain
Standard Time in the U.S. on the KA7LFX-R EchoLink Node, and locally on
the 224.060 repeater from Tucson, Arizona.
The net began 12 years ago as a celebration of 60s era radio rock and
pop, as well as TV programming from that era. John, N7LQR, writes in a
QRZ dot com forum that all hams are welcome, but most especially former
commercial radio DJs.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Mike Askins, KE5CXP.
