GB2CW TO BE RESURRECTED!!
The GB2CW slow Morse transmissions have been resurrected by the RSGB. Roger Cooke, G3LDI, has been appointed as coordinator of the revived services for an initial trial period of six months.Roger is the author of the popular book Morse Code for Radio Amateurs and regularly organises Morse classes from his home. The RSGB is keen that the appointment of Roger and the resurrection of the services will encourage more instructors to take advantage of GB2CW for Morse broadcasts on the air. If you would like to use the call, send an application to either Roger Cooke, G3LDI, or Phillip Brooks, G4NZQ, RSGB Region 12 Manager, who is supporting Roger with the administration. Information in the application must include: the full name, address and call of the applicant, plus information about the proposed transmission schedules and frequencies. Please note that only RSGB members can apply. Roger G3LDI or Philip G4NZQ can contacted via email G3LDI or G4NZQ
