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.

SOS Radio Week League Tables

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