GB2RS News Sunday, the 9th of November 2025   The news headlines: The RSGB launches its Construction Competition for 2026 RSGB exam shutdown over the festive season The Society appoints a new volunteer Brickworks Champion   Whether you have only recently soldered your first wire in a kit build or you have experience in designing an advanced software or systems engineering project, the RSGB Construction Competition is for you! As part of the RSGB's strategic growth priority, it wants to inspire people from different communities to find out more about amateur radio. That is why the Society has introduced a new category this year called “Reimagination”. If you think your project could be interesting to the maker community, or you have an idea that could encourage people from groups such as Men's Sheds to try amateur radio, this is the category for you. If it is radio-related but motivates non-radio amateurs to find out more, the RSGB welcomes your entry! There are six other categories, which means there really is something for everyone. You must be an RSGB member to enter, but you can live anywhere in the world, as entries will be judged online to allow you to participate and demonstrate your creativity remotely. The deadline for entries is the 1st of March 2026, and you have an opportunity to win a cash prize. For full details of the competition, including the other categories, visit rsgb.org/construction-competition If you're thinking of taking an amateur radio exam before Christmas, be aware that the last date you can take an online exam, either at a club or at home, is Monday, the 22nd of  December. The RSGB Exams Team will, where possible, post out exam results before HQ shuts over Christmas and New Year. Exams will resume on Monday, the 5th of January 2026 and the booking system will be available during the festive season, so you can book exams for January onwards. You can book your exam online at rsgb.org/exampay RSGB Board Director, Ben Lloyd, GW4BML, is delighted to announce Derek Hughes, G7LFC as the new volunteer RSGB Brickworks Champion. The Brickworks scheme consists of 23 tasks that give an insight into different aspects of amateur radio. Derek brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this role, having previously been involved in the development and running of the Brickworks scheme. He currently serves as Chairman of the Quantum Amateur Radio & Technology Society. Derek is committed to building strong relationships with clubs across the UK, including those already engaged with RSGB initiatives. Individuals and clubs are encouraged to contact Derek via brickworks.champion@rsgb.org.uk  with their suggestions about how to develop the reach of the RSGB's Brickworks programme. Find out more about the programme by going to rsgb.org/brickworks The RSGB has continued to release content from its recent Convention.

Earlier in the week, the 10m band was working very well, with Australia romping into the UK by mid-morning. But later in the week, everything had changed. Solar activity was high with multiple X-class and strong M-class solar flares. At least three coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, were expected to graze or directly hit Earth, sparking strong geomagnetic storms on the 6th and 7th of November. The X-ray flare on the 4th of November was the first seen since June and came from active region 4274 – a large sunspot group which helped push the solar flux index to 147. The Kp index climbed to 6.67 in the early hours of the 6th of November. Later that morning, maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, were badly affected, with a maximum of 18MHz over a 3,000km path as a strong G3 geomagnetic storm was in progress. So, it looks like good DX on the higher bands may be off the cards for a few days. However, one interesting contact was noted on the CDXC Slack chat group when ZL7/LZIGCC was spotted on 14.005MHz using CW at 10.30 am on Thursday, the 6th. Interestingly, the current solar activity is nearly all in the Sun's northern hemisphere, so are we heading for a second peak in Cycle 25? Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may decline to the 130 to 145 range. Geomagnetic conditions are predicted to remain unstable until around the 12th of November. With active region 4274 rotating to be more Earth-facing, we may expect more solar activity, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, before things quieten down. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO We are becoming well acquainted with mild, unsettled weather, and as a result, there were plenty of rain scatter options on the GHz bands in the last week. These are likely to continue through the coming week. Tropo is not completely out of the frame in the extreme south and east, albeit fleetingly, but for most of the UK, it is unlikely to be a strong feature. As in recent weeks, a few auroral alerts are coming through, but so far, nothing too dramatic is showing up on the VHF bands. Meteor scatter looks more interesting as we move into mid-November. The Leonids, one of the more important meteor showers in the calendar, peaks just after next weekend on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th, so we should expect to see some increasing activity as we progress through the coming week. The UK Activity Contest events feature 432MHz on Tuesday 11th, when the eastern side of the UK may have one of the fleeting moments of tropo to the east and south. Later in the week, on Thursday the 13th, it's the turn of 50MHz. Conditions look weaker for tropo for the 50MHz UK Activity Contest, but still favour the extreme east of England, if there is any left by then. Meteor scatter or even aurora might come to the rescue for this one. For EME operators, the Moon's declination is at its highest this weekend, ending today, the 9th, so Moon window lengths and peak elevation are also at their greatest. Path losses are now increasing as we passed perigee on the 5th of November. 144MHz sky noise is low and at its lowest midweek. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Rebecca is excited to welcome back to the podcast Canadian author Lucy E.M. Black regarding her new historical novel, A Quilting of Scars, with its unforgettable main character, Larkin Beattie.  https://nonpublishing.com/a-quilting-of-scars "Filled with the pleasure of recognizable yet distinctively original characters and a deftly drawn sense of time and place, A Quilting of Scars brings to life a story of forbidden love, abuse and murder. Pulsing with repressed sexuality and guilt, Larkin Beattie reveals the many secrets he has kept hidden throughout his lonely life. The character-driven narrative is a meditation on aging and remorse, offering a rich account of the strictures and rhythms of farming in the not-so-distant past, highlighting the confines of a community where strict moral codes are imposed upon its members and fear of exposure terrifies queer youth. As Larkin reflects upon key events, his recollections include his anger at the hypocrisy of the church, and the deep grief and loneliness that have marked his path. There is a timelessness to this story which transcends the period and resonates with heart-breaking relevance." https://lucyemblack.com/books/a-quilting-of-scars-book/ A Quilting of Scars Discussion Questions As many of you know, Rebecca highly recommends four of Lucy's books: The Brickworks, Eleanor Courtown, Stella's Carpet, and A Quilting of Scars.

In this episode, hosts Nicole Eadie and Daniel Moore speak with award-winning architect Anna Maskiell, co-founder of Public Realm Lab, a Melbourne-based practice dedicated to creating places that foster culture, community, and connection. Anna's career has taken her from Brisbane to China and now Melbourne, where her fascination with human behaviour and patterns of occupation has shaped a practice that translates strategy and culture into built form. Anna reflects on the experiences that led her to establish Public Realm Lab, including her time in large practices, her years in China's dense urban environments, and the impact of prestigious grants such as the Dulux Study Tour and the Marten Bequest Scholarship. She shares how these opportunities sharpened her focus on strategic planning and the social role of architecture, culminating in a practice that balances rigorous research with human-centred design. The conversation explores the studio's landmark project Powerhouse Place in Mildura, the most-awarded project at the 2024 Victorian Architecture Awards, and how strategic thinking, grant funding, and deep community engagement helped transform a modestly funded tender into a celebrated civic space. Anna also unpacks how Public Realm Lab's unique approach to strategic planning extends architecture beyond traditional project phases, offering lessons in adaptability and advocacy for anyone seeking to design places that genuinely value the people who use them.

In this episode, we speak with Dr Shannon Foster, D'harawal Eora Knowledge Keeper and Co-Director of Bangawarra, a practice dedicated to embedding Aboriginal knowledge, language, and culture into contemporary spatial design. Shannon shares how Bangawarra works at the powerful intersection of ancient wisdom and modern architecture, challenging colonial legacies while guiding projects that honour the stories and enduring spirit of Country. Through her work, Shannon reveals how connecting with Country is far more than a design philosophy, it is a transformative process that shapes landscapes, buildings, and communities. She discusses Bangawarra's approach to site-specific insights, public art, and cultural heritage consultancy, highlighting how Aboriginal knowledge systems can inform planning, sustainable practice, and the creation of places that are culturally rich and environmentally resilient. From design reviews to public projects, Shannon explains how she and her team translate Ancestral knowledge into meaningful strategies for architects, planners, and clients, ensuring that spaces resonate with history while serving future generations. This conversation is an inspiring exploration of how Indigenous perspectives can lead to more ethical, inclusive, and enduring outcomes in the built environment, offering lessons for anyone seeking to work in true partnership with Country.

In this episode, Nick Carfora and Daniel Moore speak with interior designer Nancy Beka (not a registered architect), Co-Director of Studio Edwards, about carving a unique path into Melbourne's design scene and redefining sustainable practice. Originally from Adelaide, Nancy's journey began with the challenge of breaking into a competitive industry. After relocating to Melbourne, she quickly made her mark by creating initiatives during the pandemic to keep the design community connected remotely. These projects became a platform for exploring innovative materials, zero-waste strategies, and new ways of thinking about construction. Nancy shares how founding Alt Material, a collaborative forum for experimental and sustainable design, opened opportunities to work with like-minded creatives and expand her understanding of material life cycles. Her commitment to circular design thinking shines through in projects like Today Studio, a workplace fit-out that champions adaptive reuse, material passports, and honest, low-waste detailing, earning recognition in the Australian Interior Design Awards. Named to the Australian Design Review 30 Under 30, Nancy reflects on the value of mentorship, community, and storytelling in building a resilient practice. Her experience shows how curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to sustainability can transform challenges into opportunities and reshape the way we design, build, and connect.

In this episode, Anjalee Patel and Daniel Moore sit down with Matt McGivern and Seb Robinson from The Flaming Collective, a group of emerging designers and researchers whose work is redefining how we think about space through a queer lens. Formed out of shared conversations on heritage, history, and lived experience, the Collective brings together diverse research interests, from mapping historic queer spaces and reimagining residential living models, to exploring multi-residential inclusivity and the politics of heritage policies. Their collaborative research has produced the Queer Design Toolkit and The Gay Agenda, frameworks developed to help designers think beyond their own experience and create spaces that prioritise safety, comfort, and inclusion. After presenting their work at the Australian Institute of Architects National Conference, and expanding it further during Perth Design Week, the group has continued to push their ideas into practice, consulting on competitions, tackling questions of public amenity, and addressing the very real challenges of resistance and bureaucracy in the built environment. Our discussion explores how queer theory can shape design practice, the importance of trauma-informed design, and the tools available to architects who want to create more equitable spaces. By sharing stories, methods, and lived experience, The Flaming Collective challenges the profession to imagine new ways of designing cultural and community spaces that reflect and respect diverse identities.

In this episode, Abigail Lee and Daniel Moore speak with Libby Ba-Pe, architect at JDA Co, about her work leading conversations and projects in flood-resilient design. With growing climate risks and repeated flood events across Australia, Libby shares how architects can contribute practical and innovative approaches to designing safer, more adaptable homes. Libby reflects on the Flood Resilient Homes program, which provides homeowners with tools and strategies to retrofit existing dwellings and design new housing to withstand future flooding events. She explains how JDA Co has worked closely with local councils, government agencies, and communities to embed resilience at both the building and neighbourhood scale. Our discussion highlights the technical strategies behind flood-resilient design – from material choices and elevated structures to planning decisions that improve recovery times and reduce long-term vulnerability. But just as importantly, Libby emphasises the human dimension, sharing stories of working directly with families whose lives have been profoundly affected by floods and how design can help restore security and dignity. This conversation shines a light on the crucial role architects play in climate adaptation, demonstrating that resilience is not just about protecting property, but about designing homes and communities that can thrive in the face of uncertainty.

In this episode, Olivia McKim and Daniel Moore speak with Claire Scorpo, an award-winning architect whose work bridges rigorous design thinking with deep social and community engagement. Claire's practice began with finely crafted residential projects that champion material sensitivity and passive design, and has since expanded to ambitious commercial and community-led developments. Her recent project, BVIA on Bank, is a groundbreaking female-led commercial development designed to promote gender equity and strengthen the role of women in the built environment. Our conversation explores Claire's belief in architecture as both a design discipline and a social catalyst. She reflects on her teaching, where students have worked alongside regional Victorian communities to address issues such as affordable housing, Indigenous engagement, mental health, and declining populations—revealing how architectural processes can forge meaningful civic relationships. Claire also discusses her longstanding advocacy through the Australian Institute of Architects, where her contributions to EmAGN, the Small Practice Forum, and juries led to her recognition as the 2023 Emerging Architect Prize winner for Victoria. Claire's story is one of thoughtful practice, consistent advocacy, and community-building.

In this episode, Aileen Chew and Daniel Moore speak with Dan Martin, an environmental planner, designer, and academic whose career bridges architecture, geography, and environmental policy. Based in the south-west of Western Australia, Dan co-leads the practice Super Natural while lecturing in landscape architecture at the University of Western Australia. His work reflects a deep commitment to biodiversity, design equity, and the future of sustainable urban growth. Our conversation explores Dan's research into the unique biodiversity hotspot of south-west Australia, where ecological richness collides with the pressures of urban sprawl. He shares insights into how planning and design can foster “better infill,” weaving living infrastructure and density models that both respond to climate realities and enhance community wellbeing. Dan also reflects on the power of mapping as a process—more than a technical tool, it's a way of storytelling and envisioning possibilities for landscapes, ecologies, and urban futures. From rethinking Perth's growth patterns to reimagining how data, illustration, and design can communicate complex ecological systems, Dan brings a rare and holistic perspective. His insights remind us that architecture and planning are not only about shaping built form, but about protecting life systems and revaluing the landscapes we depend upon.

In this episode, Hilary Duff and Daniel Moore speak with Dutch-born, Australian-based designer, artist, and environmental activist Joost Bakker about his pioneering work in sustainability, zero waste design, and the circular economy. While not a registered architect, Joost is known for groundbreaking projects such as Greenhouse by Joost, Silo, and the Future Food System at Melbourne's Fed Square, Joost shares how his upbringing in the Netherlands and later life in Australia shaped his philosophy of designing self-sufficient ecosystems that produce their own energy, water, and food. Joost discusses why “waste” is a recent human-made phenomenon, exploring how industrialisation disrupted the closed-loop systems humans shared with nature for millennia. He reflects on his commitment to using unconventional materials, like cork, hemp, and magnesium-oxide boards, and the criteria he applies to ensure every material choice aligns with circular economy principles. The conversation also delves into the challenges and breakthroughs of delivering his zero-waste projects, from navigating regulatory barriers to working with unlikely partners to raise industry standards. Looking ahead, Joost shares his optimism for a future where circular design becomes mainstream, powered by the demands of younger generations for meaningful climate action. He offers advice for emerging architects and designers on integrating sustainability into their practice and reflects on his own collaborative approach, bringing together experts, manufacturers, growers, and chefs to reimagine the built environment. This is an inspiring deep dive into a career built on the belief that beauty, innovation, and environmental responsibility can, and must, coexist.

In this episode, hosts Megan Eiman and Daniel Moore speak with Jo Bastian, founder of Bastian Architecture, about the rewards and realities of running a sole architectural practice in regional NSW. Jo shares candid insights into balancing parenting with running a business, navigating the limitations and freedoms of being a sole practitioner, and building a portfolio that reflects her values of sustainability, connection to landscape and Country, flexibility, playfulness, and respect for client budgets. Jo discusses the gradual process of curating work that truly represents her design ethos, highlighting projects such as Olive Tree House, Gum Tree House, and The Balcony. Each illustrates her approach to creating adaptable, character-filled spaces that connect people to place. The conversation moves into the dynamics of practising in regional NSW, retaining strong links to larger cities, staying engaged through professional memberships, advocating for regional architects, and collaborating with local councils, trades, certifiers, and builders. Jo also explores the opportunities and constraints of urban infill, drawing on Olive Tree House as a case study in small-lot living that fosters community and street engagement, made possible by Newcastle Council's progressive subdivision provisions.

In this episode, Nhi Trinh and Daniel Moore speak with Miranda Spencer, Gabrielle Seymour, and Lauren Jeans—co-founders of Archibubs, a South Australian initiative dedicated to supporting parents and caregivers in architecture and interior design. Launched in 2021 through the South Australian chapter of EmAGN, Archibubs was born from a shared recognition that the profession lacked spaces for open conversation around the realities of balancing caregiving and careers in design. Miranda, Gabrielle, and Lauren share how Archibubs has created a much-needed platform for connection, support, and advocacy, offering insights, resources, and solidarity to those navigating both parenthood and professional practice. This conversation explores the importance of inclusive networks, the power of lived experience, and the cultural shifts needed to support more sustainable and equitable careers in architecture and design. It's a timely reminder that a stronger profession is one that recognises and responds to the diverse needs of its practitioners—at every stage of life.

In this episode, Nicole Eadie and Daniel Moore speak with buyer's advocate and podcast host Emily Wallace about the journey of first-home buyers and how they perceive architecturally designed homes. Emily brings a refreshing and grounded perspective from the frontline of Melbourne's property market, where she works to demystify the buying process and ensure fairness for buyers navigating a complex landscape. She shares insights into what prospective homeowners are looking for, how design quality is perceived in the real estate market, and whether architect-designed homes truly stand out to those entering the property ladder. This conversation offers architects a rare glimpse into the afterlife of their projects—beyond handover and into the hands of buyers—raising important questions about communication, liveability, and the long-term value of thoughtful design.

In this episode, Sally Hsu and Daniel Moore speak with architect David Kaunitz about his powerful experiences working alongside communities both in Australia and internationally, particularly through his time with Emergency Architects Australia and his practice Kaunitz Yeung Architecture. David shares how deeply collaborative, on-the-ground engagement with First Nations communities has shaped his approach to architecture, one rooted in respect, listening, and cultural continuity. From working in remote Indigenous communities across Australia to projects in the Pacific, David reflects on how architecture can help support community identity, foster connection to Country, and celebrate local knowledge systems. This conversation explores the transformative potential of architecture when driven by humility and shared authorship, and invites practitioners to reconsider traditional design hierarchies in favour of culturally responsive processes that empower the communities we serve.

In this episode, Safia Ibrahim and Daniel Moore speak with architect Philip Gresley about the meaning and value of sustainability certification, including BCorp, in the architectural profession. Philip reflects on how sustainability in architecture must extend beyond environmental concerns to address broader questions of accountability, social equity, and community wellbeing. He shares insights into how design processes and outcomes are evolving in response to these challenges, and how architects can lead with purpose through both practice and advocacy. This conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of how architecture can drive measurable change in the way we live, build, and support one another. Philip Gresley is a Registered Architect and founding Director of Gresley Abas Architects. He is known for his commitment to socially sustainable and community-centred design. Philip's work focuses on projects that achieve environmental goals while delivering real benefits to the people they serve. Beyond practice, he actively contributes to the profession through design review panels and as Chair of Cohen Connect, a not-for-profit organisation that oversees the EG Cohen Medal, awarded annually to an architecture graduate who exemplifies generosity and selflessness during their studies. Philip's career exemplifies how architectural thinking can extend beyond buildings to shape better futures. Our sponsor Brickworks also produces architecture podcasts hosted by Tim Ross.

In this episode, Vyasa McPherson and Daniel Moore speak with architect Harriet Spring shares her diverse career journey, from working on Parliament House to leading public projects as a government architect and project manager. Harriet reflects on the impact of civic architecture and how working beyond traditional practice can deepen an architect's contribution to the public good. She challenges the stigma around leaving private practice, encouraging architects to embrace broader roles in policy, delivery, and project leadership. Her insights reveal how architectural thinking can shape outcomes far beyond the drawing board, offering inspiration for those exploring alternative career paths within the built environment and public sector. Harriet Spring is a Registered Architect and design professional who worked for many years in traditional architectural practice across residential, heritage, public, and commercial sectors, and has subsequently moved on to develop a range of expertise across other fields, however, still working within the construction and building management sector. During her career that followed, Harriet applied the skill set she developed through her architectural practice. She found her core architectural strengths in strategic thinking, having a certain design sensibility, and taking a structured approach to problem solving, have been directly transferable skills to managing complexities and delivering solutions in life after architecture.

With a personal aim to ‘humanize' spaces, big or small, and over 26 years of experience, Tonya Hinde is not a registered architect and stands out as a collaborative leader and interior designer in the Australian architectural industry. She shares BLP's deeply held belief that our future is dependent on creating healthy buildings and environments, and that good design is instrumental in making people feel better. Tonya is a strong advocate for Mental Health Design – particularly for BLP's Co-Design methodology, continuing to learn from those with Lived Experience – and has been a significant contributor to the award-winning Orygen Youth Mental Health facility, Parkville Tonya talks with hosts Daniel Moore and Nicole Eadie today about her work on Orygen Parkville. This project is a stunning reminder that health design doesn't need to be clinical to be functional. It is a highly awarded project which challenges the status quo.

In this episode, we speak with Katerina Dracopoulos, Director at Fulton Trotter Architects, about her journey through the profession and the personal experiences that have shaped her approach to design. Katerina reflects on the profound impact of living abroad during her formative years, and how exposure to different cultures and ways of life broadened her perspective both as a person and as an architect. Our conversation delves into the importance of diversity in architecture, not only in the makeup of our teams but in the range of ideas and experiences we bring to our work. Katerina shares candid insights on the value of embracing mistakes early in her career, and how a willingness to learn, adapt, and take risks helped her build confidence and develop a thoughtful, human-centred design practice over time. She also speaks passionately about the need for architects to regain their place in the project team as respected project leads, advocating for the profession to reclaim its vital role in shaping better outcomes for clients and communities. Katerina is a dynamic leader and designer, striving to create transformative architecture that enriches people's lives. As a collaborative designer, she works to create a visual and tactile language that conveys the narrative of the client, the building and its users. Katerina's portfolio of projects spans bespoke learning environments, commercial and civic spaces, social infrastructure and adaptive reuse projects, and her breadth of experience includes working in Sydney and Paris.

In this episode, we speak with Elliet Spring from MGS Architects about her journey from studying at Columbia University in New York and living in Norway, to her current role as an architect, urban planner, and master planning specialist in Australia. Elliot reflects on her formative years in New York and the influence of that education on her approach to design back home. Our conversation explores the importance of embedding strong ideas and human-centred principles at the master planning stage for projects of all scales. Elliet shares thoughtful insights on the value of investing in master plans, even knowing that the practice may never be invited to design any of the individual buildings within them. She explains how rigorous, people-focused planning can deliver extraordinary outcomes for communities by shaping precincts that prioritise livability, inclusivity, and long-term value. Elliet Spring is a director of MGS Architects, having joined the practice in 2014. Her formative professional years spent living and working in Norway and New York have helped shape her approach to architecture, from her focus on civic responsibility to her passion for architecture and urban design as catalysts for enriching human experience. She works comfortably between architecture and urban design and has been instrumental in broadening her practice's Campus Master Plan portfolio.

The ASX 200 saw its first rise of the week, nearly recouping earlier losses and approaching a record high. The materials sector, benefiting from China's stimulus, surged, while financials rebounded slightly after a rough start to the week. Consumer discretionary stocks also performed well, led by Aristocrat Leisure, which hit an all-time high. Meanwhile, the energy sector struggled due to falling oil prices. Brickworks saw significant gains despite posting a loss, largely due to its long-standing dividend growth. Tomorrow will be a major day for dividend payments, with CBA and Fortescue leading the pack.
