GM0WHS is finally back in action after the summer holidays. Great turnout today with new members and our "old hand" operator, Emily, MM7HPU just back from Youngsters On The Air alongside Aden, MM3DRB. Propagation not great but a few contacts made. #cloudlog

Conditions poor on 40m for us at GM0WHS again today but MM7IFL's ham spirit is undeterred. Delighted to see him building confidence in operating on the air and showing his friends how to call CQ

Our fourth Foundation course kicked off tonight with three keen students. Corey, Hannah and Xander all saw how much fun their friends were having and wanted to give it a go. Corey is the brother of MM3DRB 🎉

Can't wait to get this going. Ben (GW4BML) and I will be chairing the sessions until it's established. It would be so good to talk to young operators from across the world. Feel free to tag any schools or groups who might like to take part 👋👋

Hannah, Jacob, Xander and Corey were smiling from ear to ear today as we made plenty of contacts on 20m. Covered a little bit of Foundation theory as well with ATUs, end fed antennas and dummy loads #cloudlog

Good luck to our own Emily, M7HPU at the convention. If you see her be sure to ask about her YOTA experience in Paris this year or how cool it is having a school radio club 😎😎😎

It was great to welcome Emily and her YOTA Paris team members to the RSGB Convention. You can hear from them in the interview they did during our Sunday Convention livestream... youtube.com/live/KUEKPrtg3… Wick High School Radio Club

I'm beyond excited to be a part of this. 1100 mile round trip but it's definitely worth it. Thank goodness for the school holidays 🤣
