SOS Radio Week couldn’t take place without the help of our sponsors and if you’d like to help us and fund some of our promotional activities, or sponsor a prize to encourage more Amateur Radio operators to take part and raise money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) then please contact us to discuss your assistance further.
We are extremely grateful to all our sponsors for their support.

G7LFC Software
Last year we trialled a new piece of web-based software called the Status Monitor. It enabled participants in the event to log in and tell the world when they were operating (bands, modes and spot frequencies), their QSL details and location. Those that used it said it was a great tool and we received several comments from other stations stating how useful it was to see which SOS Radio Week stations were on the air at any given time and what their QSL details were. That application was written by G7LFC Software, a developer of Amateur Radio software since 1997.
We are pushing the use of Status Monitor this year and asking all participants to use it.
