GB2RS, the RSGB’s news service, celebrating 70 years
by some of the team
This presentation is all about the RSGB’s news service ‘GB2RS’ that is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2025. Over 100 volunteers broadcast the RSGB news every Sunday, across the amateur bands using a variety of modes.
There’s a look back at the pioneering days of the early broadcasts before coming right up to date with how today’s news is prepared and broadcast every week. The presentation will explain how the script is compiled and Pete, G0PNM gives his perspective as a Newsreader.
There will be a look at plans for the 70th anniversary and how you can get involved. RSGB Awards Manager Lindsay Pennell, GI3KME introduces a series of special GB2RS awards for you to chase. To wrap up, the team considers GB2RS in the modern media environment and how new technologies in amateur radio are being embraced.
