RSGB setzt auf deutschen QSL-Service! 🤝

Die Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) hat sich nach intensiver Prüfung für eine Zusammenarbeit mit dem DARC e.V. entschieden.

Was bedeutet das konkret? Ab sofort werden alle ein- und ausgehenden QSL-Karten der britischen Funkfreunde über das QSL-Zentrum in Baunatal abgewickelt. 📦✈️

Warum Baunatal? Unser QSL-Büro ist längst kein Geheimtipp mehr:

✅ Zuverlässigkeit: Kapazitäten auf Industriestandard-Niveau.

✅ International: Viele nationale Verbände nutzen bereits diesen robusten Service.

Die RSGB lobt besonders den „robusten und effektiven Service“ - ein tolles Kompliment an das Team in Baunatal! Wir freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit.

Today I forgot to bring my laptop up the hill. Therefore I was forced to do #amateurradio the old style, talk to hams via #ssb instead of doing #ft8. It was a welcome change that made me join the #RSGB contest on #40m plus a #POTA activation on #20m.
Thanks hunters!

Finally, I got to read this month's #rsgb #RadCom, and what can I say... It's 2025, and they still publish letters to the editor from some who argue how only their favourite pastime is "real hamradio" and nothing else is 🙄 They surely know how to attract youth to #hamradio.
Next year, I'd like the #rsgb to have an unconference approach to their conference so that more could be done. Ask Oggcamp how well it works!

I look forward to meeting fellow #hamradio fans at #rsgb convention over the weekend (although the plan is to mostly spend it at the #amsatuk 🛰 Colloquium). Do say hello if you see me.
