From G3JJR John re. RI Convention station at NEC Birmingham.
Don (G0JWE) and I have again had an extremely helpful meeting with the Assistant Rigging Resources Manager et.al. at NEC to show him pictures of what we hope to do. After consideration he gave us good news.....
.....In brief they agreed a very good location alongside the building for a trailer-mounted mast, to be provided by the Wythall Radio Club, carrying a three-element tri-bander beam to be provided by Mike G8LES.
Congratulations. Well done!

Dear Rotary friend,
73 from Denmark.
I am interested in the ROAR, as I enjoy HAM radio and Rotary fellowship-
A year ago, I moved from Iowa to Denmark and have the call 5P2BA.
Have no HF equipment ready but it will come, I am active on Echolink for the time being.
Is there any chance, I could get a copy of the ROAR magazine and hear more about your "club / group".
Yours in Rotary.
