M7ENP Adventures & Experiments

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Special Event Station As Her Majesty The Queen becomes the first British monarch to reach a Platinum Jubilee, the nation is celebrating this latest milestone in Her Majesty’s record-breaking reign. Ofcom has generously agreed to an RSGB request that radio amateurs licenced by Ofcom use the special RSL 'Q' to commemorate Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee. This will be accessible for usage until June 2022, and a Notice of Variation will be required, which will be available at RSGB.org . The Society is also planning other events and activities that it thinks will appeal to a broad audience. More information will be revealed in the coming weeks.  We will be active with special call MQ7ENP from Cotswolds, Worcestershire, England, during June 2022, commemorating the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. We will be operating on the HF Bands.
