Charity Calendar 2022

To help fund raising for Metabolic Support UK (MSUK) and due to demand, I have produced a Calendar for 2022. The Calendar shows images of Birds that I have personally photographed in Yorkshire over the last 12 months of 2021.

With only a limited number produced, the Calendar is now available for £8.00GBP (£10.00GBP includes postage in or outside the UK). All proceeds will go to the MSUK Charity, details of amount raised will be posted here once all Calendars are sold and donation sent.

MM0UKI/p – Rockall (IOTA EU-189)

In June 2022 a team will land on Rockall Island, more than 200 nautical miles from the West Coast of Scotland, and the nearest civilisation. Their intention is to survive on the tiny island for one week battling winds and waves in order to raise £1,000,000 for charity.
 
The Ham Radio community know only too well, the stories of this infamous Rock. Kudos to Nobby G0VJG who will join the Team and will have 1/2 days on the rock as the sole Radio Operator. He will try to focus on 20 and 40m and use SSB only.
 
Still #1 most wanted IOTA in the World, it will be a huge challenge.
Further information will be available in the coming months but please take a look at the links on this post and follow the Team as they progress towards their target date.
