🎉What a day – thank you to everyone who attended our two workshops ahead of the #RSGBconvention! Nearly forty radio amateurs joined us for a day of learning; leaving with new skills, and smiles on their faces!🎉

SDRplay will be demonstrating RSP products & SDRconnect software at the Tokyo HamFair this weekend. We will be exhibiting at the "Yokohama DX Club" booth (C56: No. 56 in Area C). We would be delighted if you could stop by and feel free to say hello or ask any questions.
"I have to say it. Im really starting to like #SDRconnect. It is working fantastic as a pan adapter with my #FT991a and #RSP1b. Finally I have a program that will work well with both my Windows and my Linux PCs. Ive used it on Win11, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, MX Linux and Pop! OS. with excellent results on all! Much appreciated!" #KG9PN

This Month's Hot Products 📡
The Yaesu M-70, SDRplay RSPduo and Moonraker Titan MKII are proving popular this month. Whether you're upgrading station audio, exploring SDR or adding 10m mobile capability, they're worth a look.

Good question. For me it was a room with lots of power outlets and a dozen ethernet outlets. The big white curved table I got for $100. There are lots of these for sale on the Facebook Marketplace, sometimes free. I knew I wanted big screens. And I knew I wanted everything to be 4K. I'm not sure what you already have, radio-wise. One computer and one SDR unit, either from Nooelec or SDRplay make for a good start. You can do so much with an SDR. I started at the kitchen table with a coax feed out the window to a small antenna on a painter's pole for aircraft tracking and old TV rabbit ears for weather satellite images.
Are you active on the lower bands, including medium wave, 80m and perhaps even 40m? How about getting involved in some citizen science experiments during the solar eclipse next week?
The RSGB Propagation Studies Committee would like your help with some #amateurradio experiments on Wednesday 12 August 2026. Let's see how the Sun’s ultraviolet and X-ray output affects our ionosphere and how radio waves are propagated.

@theRSGB@2026Wrtc It was good fun listening out for the contestants and actually having a QSO with Yuri, VE3DZ and Yarik, UW7LL as MB2M. The full story here: https://t.co/J9iOrnqcuy
The downtime was during the WRTC contest when G4ABQ was transmitting / we did a dawn swoop on some WRTC stations to give them valuable host country points!
The SDRplay demo nRSP-ST based in the UK (Bedfordshire) will be down intermittently today (from now) until 1200 UTC tomorrow for maintenance - the note will be updated here, when all is stable again: https://t.co/afOPPkJuFy
SDRplay station G4ABQ was pleased to help the WRTC winners nudge their way over the line. I used the nRSP-ST to find where they were and then a trusty ICOM 718 +G5RV to work them https://t.co/afOPPkJuFy
The closing ceremony at @2026Wrtc has just finished, with the winners of the 2026 World Radiosport Team Championship announced! Congratulations to first place winners Yuri, VE3DZ and Yarik, UW7LL (the WRTC 2022 Champions) operating MB2M 🥇Full results at: https://t.co/nLvckdVJmH
RSGB President Bob Beebe, GU4YOX closed the proceedings by thanking the WRTC Organising Committee and the hundreds of volunteers for delivering a world-class championship. Many congratulations to all involved! 🎉

@theRSGB@2026Wrtc I worked 9 of them early this morning as G4ABQ - is there any way to cross reference the callsign to the team members on the scoreboard?
