The collection starts
Now that SOS Radio Week is over for another year the Committee of the Lifeboat Amateur Radio Society would like to extend their thanks to everyone who has taken part; the registered stations and the Amateur Radio stations around the world who were successfully contacted.
The initial prognosis looks good. Lots of SOS Radio Week stations were heard during the week on both the VHF and HF bands which was brilliant, hardly an hour went by when SOS Radio Week wasn’t mentioned up here in Lancashire. We’ve already reached over £300 in on-line donations which is a record in itself. Hopefully as stations receive QSL cards they’ll be encouraged to bolster the on-line giving a little more.
The big job now for the registered stations, now that the operating is over, is to gather in their sponsorship money, donate it to their RNLI local lifeboat station, or the RNLI general fund, and send us their receipt. As the receipts come in, we’ll keep you up-to-date with total raised to-date.
So, the operating’s over but the work is still far from over. So keep up the good work guys and lasses and let’s make this a record breaking year in terms of funds raised.

Posted in Fund-raising General News SOS Radio Week 2013 by .
We’ve had a bumper number of registrations from stations that will be taking part in SOS Radio Week 2013 – 40 stations should be on the air between the 19th and 27th of January.
SOS Radio Week stations are sponsored and raising money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and range from individuals operating from home, through to large groups operating special event stations from RNLI Lifeboat Stations around the coast of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
All stations are on an equal footing and each station qualifies as one point towards the Worked SOS Radio Week Award. This award is available to Amateur Radio stations all over the world that work one of our registered callsigns. A single point gets you the ‘Basic’ award and there are four more awards available for working at least three (Bronze), six (Silver), ten (Gold) and fifteen (platinum) registered stations. Awards can be applied for online once the event has finished.
If you’d like to make a donation to the RNLI in support of SOS Radio Week then please visit our JustGiving page and make a donation on-line – every penny we raise goes to help run a charity that is dedicated to saving lives at sea. The majority of lifeboat men and women are volunteers and do not receive a wage for this invaluable and dangerous work.
