SOS Radio Week supports the Royal National Lifeboat Institution

The crews of the RNLI selflessly volunteer to go out to sea, in all weathers, to rescue and save the lives of those at risk around our coasts and up to 250 miles offshore.

Discover more about the invaluable work of the RNLI.

SOS Radio Week supports the National Coastwatch Institution

When the Coastguard shut down the local watch stations around our coasts, the volunteers of the NCI moved in. They restored a vital visual link with those at sea that the new centralised hubs could not hope to provide.

Learn more about the valuable work this voluntary organisation provides to keep people safe at sea.

How can you help – make a donation

We do not encourage the amateur radio stations raising awareness of the RNLI and NCI to accept donations on behalf of either organisation because of the legal implications.

However, if you would like to make a donation, pick your chosen charity below and visit their official on-line donation page. Every penny counts when you’re saving lives at sea.

SOS Radio Week League Table

We’re holding a challenge for participants. Registered stations record the number of contacts they’ve had on each band/mode the SOS Radio Week League is automatically updated. At the end of the event we will send certificates to the top three stations on each band and mode.

About SOS Radio Week

SOS Radio Week is an annual awareness raising activity to benefit the RNLI and NCI created by Derek and David Hughes (G7LFC and M3LFC respectively), the founders of the Lifeboat Amateur Radio Society.

This activity is not an RNLI or NCI initiative, so please do not contact them if you have any questions about this event.
