The August 2015 issue of RadCom, the RSGB’s monthly magazine, will be hitting letterboxes soon. As always, we take a quick look and see which Essex amateur radio activities and amateurs have made it to the pages of Radcom. Again, Essex has had a bumper month, with a spread over three pages.
A PDF of the news section and the Around Your Region section is available on our site – See: RSGB Around Your Region PDFs.
In the main news section of the next Radcom: Supporting the RSGB Youth dxpedition, UK Spectrum Strategy, exam updates, QSL card shower, and nine new amateur radio satellites.
