RNLI Bembridge Open Day
The club also enjoyed the good weather on the island for the Bembridge Lifeboat RNLI open day where 2 HF stations and a UHF/VHF station using the call sign GB2BLB were operated. Fortunately it was also Lighthouses on the air and so the bands were busy around the world...
The Isle of Wight Radio Society
The Isle of Wight Radio Society The Society, the oldest radio club on the Island, has now passed its 60th year. It was founded by Arthur Wakeley G3MAD,
later to become our President, now sadly silent key, and Eric Jolliffe G3IMX, together with several other amateurs to give encouragement to those wanting to qualify for the RAE examinations and to ensure help was available after obtaining the licence. The inaugural meeting was held on the 9th October 1959 when the constitution was drawn up.
Silent Keys, in memoriam
The Isle of Wight Radio Society would like to thank the friends and relatives of silent key Radio Amateurs for the donation of their equipment. Such equipment will remain within the Amateur Radio community either used by the Club or through onward sale to other Radio Amateurs. Any moneys obtained will be used by the Club to improve its facilities for the benefit of its Members.
Specifically we would like to remember:-
