GB2RS News Sunday, the 7th of September 2025 The news headlines: WRTC, QO-100 and how to have a thriving club – be part of these discussions at the RSGB Convention Listen out for special GB2RS broadcasts from the NRC as part of GB70RS celebrations The RSGB replies to the latest Ofcom 2.3GHz consultation The World Radiosport Team Championship 2026 takes place in the United Kingdom, and Mark Haynes, M0DXR, is the Chairman of the Organising Committee. Join Mark at the RSGB Convention on Saturday, the 11th of October, to find out how the team is progressing for the event, which will host 100 operators from all around the world. If operating via QO-100 is something you would like to try, join Paulo, F5VMJ/G0MUW, as he shares his experience of the mode, including his home setup and how to go portable. In a new-style presentation for this year, representatives from four amateur radio clubs will be joining a panel at the Convention. They will each discuss different aspects of their club activities that are contributing to the club's success and growth. Join the conversation, share your thoughts and experience, and be inspired. If you'd like to get practical during the Convention weekend, there are a variety of opportunities, including three workshops. The majority of workshop tickets are now sold, so book now to avoid disappointment. With only five weeks until the Society's annual Convention, secure your place via rsgb.org/convention. The RSGB Convention takes place at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes between the 10th and 12th of October. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the RSGB's weekly news broadcast, GB2RS. The celebrations continue with three special broadcasts scheduled from the RSGB National Radio Centre, or NRC, on Sunday, the 28th of September. Three Newsreaders will broadcast GB2RS from the NRC on the 40m band, the 2m band and via the QO-100 satellite. These readings will be in addition to those in the weekly GB2RS broadcast schedule. Special event station GB70RS will be used for pre- and post-News nets. In addition, each Newsreader will start the broadcast with a special message from the RSGB President Bob Beebe, GU4YOX. Find out timings and frequencies via rsgb.org/gb70rs  The RSGB has responded to a further Ofcom consultation, which would see new users sharing spectrum within the 2.3GHz amateur band. The latest proposals would enable a new class of short-notice outdoor deployments in the 2320 to 2340MHz range, for up to 14 days at a time. In its response, the RSGB has taken the opportunity to highlight strong concerns regarding the amateur weak signal segment at 2320MHz. This follows earlier Ofcom proposals last year for indoor use only in this frequency range. The response and background information can be found on the RSGB Spectrum Forum web pages. Go to rsgb.org/spectrum-forum  and choose the ‘Papers and consultations' tab on the right-hand side. This month is all about amateur radio and coding for the RSGB. Two exciting activities have been developed for you to get involved with. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced coder, you can get stuck into both the Python Pocket Morse activity and the LoRa high-altitude balloon challenge. Don't forget to let the Society know how you get on. Share your story and photos with the RSGB Communications Team via comms@rsgb.org.uk RSGB Board Chair Dr Stewart Bryant, G3YSX, has announced that Peter Bowyer, G4MJS, is stepping down from his role as RSGB Director due to an unexpected and significant increase in his professional duties. In addition to this Board vacancy, two further vacancies will arise when the RSGB election cycle starts in a few months. Both Len Paget, GM0ONX and Board Chair Stewart Bryant, G3YSX, will stand down from the Board due to term limits. Members are encouraged to offer their services to the RSGB for this important duty. If you'd like a chat about the role, contact the Nominations Committee Chair, Will Richardson, 2E0WYA via nominations.chair@rsgb.org.uk Royal Air Force Air Cadets Exercise Cloud Warmer is taking place on the 60m band from 7.45 pm to 8 pm until the 31st of December.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Wednesday the 3rd of September Last week's aurora may have come as a bit of a surprise! The propagation segment for GB2RS is usually written on a Thursday, but the aurora was sparked by a solar flare that took place two days later, at 2002 UTC on the 30th of August. As we don't have a crystal ball, we couldn't have predicted it! The Kp index hit 3 late on the 1st of September, with aurora visible over much of the UK. HF propagation was affected with sudden swings in the maximum usable frequency over most of the day on Tuesday, the 2nd of September. At the time of writing, a geomagnetic storm watch remains in effect with the solar wind speed above 500 kilometres per second. September is a good month for aurora due to the Russell-McPherron effect, when the Earth's axis aligns perpendicularly to the Sun-Earth line during the equinox. This creates ideal conditions for a reconnection between the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field. So, keep an eye on solarham.com for daily updates. The Sun remains active with plenty of sunspots. The solar flux index stood at 187 on Wednesday, the 3rd, down from 202 the day before. HF propagation remains good, out of the auroral periods, and as we progress into September, it should improve even more. Some of the best DX this week included VK2/SP9FIH on Lord Howe Island using the Superfox FT8 mode, and T30TTT on Western Kiribati using both CW and FT8. Other choice DX included 3C3W in Equatorial Guinea on FT8, TJ1GD in Cameroon on 20m CW, and 5H8HZ in Tanzania on 30m FT8. Next week, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will decline to 160, and then perhaps 125. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast until the 10th, with a maximum Kp index of 4 predicted. This may be due to a large elongated coronal hole on the Sun's surface, which became Earth-facing on Wednesday, the 3rd. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Rain and sequences of low pressure will drive the weather agenda for much of the coming week. The only reasonable chance of Tropo appears to be Friday and Saturday with high pressure to the southeast and support for paths to the continent and across the North Sea. It is worth noting that, in general, short-lived highs like this one do not have the necessary time to generate a strong, elevated inversion before declining. So don't expect too much. Rain scatter, on the other hand, is much more likely to be worth considering for the gigahertz stations next week, with plenty of rain events coming along. The Sporadic-E season daily blogs have now finished for this year, but you may still find it worthwhile looking at the Dourbes graph at propquest.co.uk. You will notice the odd blip on the foEs trace, so keep it in mind for the 10 and 6m bands – at least for the next week. Meteor scatter is still in random territory for this period. We are between the Perseids in mid-August and the Draconids, which peak on the 8th of October. This means that the pre-dawn morning hours will be good times to try. There were some auroral signals during the 2m UK Activity Contest on Tuesday, the 2nd. We are coming into the autumn season when conditions tend to be more favourable for aurora. The message is, of course, to monitor the Kp index for values rising above 4 or 5. Remember, these three-hourly planetary readings can smooth out shorter-duration peaks, so maybe don't wait for it to get to the dizzy heights of 6 or 7 before taking an interest. Moon declination is still negative, not going positive until Monday, the 8th. So, Moon window lengths and peak elevation will continue to increase. Path losses are still falling until perigee on Wednesday, the 10th. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Our very own newsreader Michelle casually dropped the bomb that she went to her high school formal with Patrick Brammall. Yes — Colin From Accounts Patrick Brammall. Turns out teenage Patrick was an emo Catholic school boy in a choker, and Michelle was rocking the black hair and goth vibes from her acting circle days. They even ran into each other years later and shared that “should we get closure?” look. Now the big question: will Michelle be his date to the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere… and can we all come as her plus-ones?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Subscribe to our newsletter, the Vulnerabilitea-mail - www.theimperfects.com.au As the title suggests, Nas Campanella is really cool (and accomplished and driven and resilient). You might recognise her voice from the Triple J cinematic universe or know her work as the Disability Affairs Reporter for the ABC. But what you might not know is that Nas is vision impaired, or that a neurological condition means that she can’t read braille either. In this episode of The Vulnerabilitea House, Nas answers the questions “what childhood challenges best prepared you for adulthood?” Chatting to Hugh, Ryan and Josh, Nas talks about her relationship with her disability, and how it shapes her identity. Nas also dives into a powerful conversation with the guys about the role agency and accessibility in the experience of discrimination, and shares why, if a magical operation could restore her sight, she wouldn’t change a thing. Nas, it has been an absolute joy.

Former newsreader Hamish McKay has opened up about his dramatic 50kg weight loss. The long-time broadcaster revealed he was was suffering several health problems after his weight climbed to 135 kilos. Mackay says his blood pressure was running high and his cholesterol was 'horrendous' - and something needed to be done. "The signs were there - even though I could hide it, I bluffed my way."

After appearing at the ‘All About Women' conference in Sydney, Em has found even more perimenopause experts, you can expect all of them to make an appearance on our upcoming peri pod series ‘Rage Against the Vagine'. Last week, Em totally forgot to mention she's got a brand new book coming out in October. ‘Blood, Sweat and Glitter' will cover off everything that's happened since her ‘Rage and Rainbows' tour wrapped in 2019 and feature stuff Em hasn't talked about before, graphic novel aspects, lists, medical info and drawings by Em's daughter Odie too. Then there's Em and Michael's track by track review of Lady Gaga's new album ‘Mayhem' for you to enjoy, which also magically leads us into Michael's feels around the last episode of ‘The Newsreader' finally being broadcast on free to air TV. We also managed to slide in a quick review of Michael's night at Billie Eilish and Em forced Michael to ask her about the F1 situation as it stands, so expect much confusion from Michael and an F1 update delivered at Em's normal speed too. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, we talk about your latest Spicy Sunday Hot Takes like Grease 2 is better than the original, how to stack a taco and Em even argues why Frozen 2 is better than the original.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Michelle Lim Davidson. One of the brilliant actors from The newsreader. Which returns this week on the ABC for its final series. The Newsreader is brilliant and if you haven’t seen the first two series I am kinda jealous because I would love to go back and have that feeling of watching it for the first time. It is so groundbreaking and well made that in fact its one of the best Australian scripted drama’s of this generation. The Newsreader follows a few characters POV of the newsroom during the 80’s and Michelle’s character Noelene is one of the three main characters that we have followed through on this trilogy. Her character is Korean Australian and there has been so much to unpack with her character and even more so in series three. Michell will unpack the ways in which her character is similar to her own personality and how Michelle was able to contribute this season more than just as an actress. We chat about sweet spot of The Newsreader and why this series has highlighted how far we have come and how far we haven’t with some of the biggest issues in this country I find out about how recreating the Logies had Kylie Minogue and Daryl Somers sending in their approval to use old footage. You will get everything from why this series will end this year, what Michelle thinks her trajectory with her on screen husband played by Steven Peacock and what contribution to her character had her asking for rewrites to make sure the conversation about race in this country was handled correctly. There is so much to talk about with so many inside revelations. So sit back and relax as we unpack the wonderful world of The Newsreader. Which is back on Sunday the 2nd on the ABC and iview Australia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is utter chaos, Michael joins us from Queensland, so of course he stuffed up the time difference, then we had a bajillion and 7 technical issues. You'll hear what Michael was doing instead of joining us, and experience the full chaos of Em and Michael trying to hear each other and right their technical wrongs together. Once all that's sorted, it is onto the nominees for the Razzies for worst movies of the year, from ‘Madame Web' and' Joker: Folie a Deux', all the way through to' Borderland' and ‘Megalopolis'. There's a quick visit into the Oscar noms and much chat around why ‘Wicked' deserves more accolades than the 13 nominations that ‘Emilia Perez' has secured. We also get a full update on Elio's birthday celebrations, plus Elio's first day at primary school is next week, so Em is naturally deep in her feels about what the future holds for him. Finally, Lady Gaga dropped her teaser for a brand new album called ‘Mayhem' so naturally we need chats around that too. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em grills Michael about what is happening in the final season of his critically acclaimed TV series ‘The Newsreader'. We also delve into the latest in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni lawsuits, plus Em reviews the must see Oscar nominated animated film ‘Wild Robot' and what is up with Madonna's whiteboard insta share?

An internally rearranged Michael joins us, having survived a bout of runny egg based food poisoning he's risen from near death to help Em work through a hair extensions update, the hair witches have been in touch and the sensory nightmare is being addressed. We get a full review of Katy Perry's AFL Grand Final appearance, with added commentary from Michael's mum, plus there's a side quest into Pesto the adorable giant baby penguin the internet is obsessing over. Then we need to get the lowdown on all the high fives and other blokey bloke things that Em witnessed whilst attending an AFL Lunch the day before the Grand Final. We teased it last week, but never got around to talking about Michael's TV series ‘The Newsreader' being up for an International Emmy, and what exactly that means for him, and if Em will be joining him in New York in November. Finally Em and Michael have both seen ‘Will & Harper', a new Netflix doco following comedian Will Ferrell, who embarks on a cross-country road trip with his close friend of 30 years after they come out as a trans woman. Joining them to review the doco and offer their own insight is friend and director of Em's ‘Outgrown' show, trans comedian Anna Piper Scott. Then in the Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and her eldest daughter Marchella discuss why she can't appear as Menopausia in Em's upcoming Arena Spectacular, her adventures on her overseas holiday, plus they try and keep a straight face while playing the Newsreader Game together.

Then we need to talk about someone announcing their upcoming Arena Spectacular, it's Em, she's taking over MC (Mariah Carey) Arena, Saturday December 7, to deliver ‘Outgrown the Arena Spectacular', with side quests on Chappell Roan and Kesha thrown in. Speaking of Arenas, we follow that with the news that Celine clapped back at Donald Trump with a sassy statement after he used ‘My Heart Will Go On' at one of his rallies. We also need to delve into the bizarre revelation that US Presidential candidate RFK Jr dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park back in 2014, because why wouldn't he do something like that? After that we're keen to talk about the trainwreck of a PR campaign happening for the new movie based on the beloved #BookTok book ‘It Ends With Us'. There's a LOT to unpack involving the movie's star Blake Lively, costar and director Justin Baldoni and even Blake's husband Ryan Reynolds and his ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' co-star Hugh Jackman.

Hollow shell of a human incoming, it's been a LOT recently so Em is coming in like Joe Biden at a Presidential debate, which we will discuss within this episode.

We also need to discuss Em's family losing Scott's Dad last week, Odie having her Year 12 formal, Marchella heading overseas this weekend, Em being sick and the push to sell Outgrown tour tickets, it's all a little bit overwhelming. Then there's Michael's hip surgery being moved, the extensive medical scrub down before surgery and a deep dive into why Em is all about pyjamas and why Michael needs to get his sleeping attire sorted too.

Welcome to Michael's petty era, he's come in raging over an article asserting that Season 3 of his hit TV series ‘The Newsreader. Rumours that the series is wrapping up because his cast don't wanna do it anymore are false, and the truth is he never planned to go beyond a third season ever. Cut to Michael calling the article's creators to have it adjusted (something Em was never able to do when fake articles about her came out) and much discussion of who cares, who's show gets better numbers, and assurances we won't be cutting anything Michael says out (which we didn't). Then it's onto the biggest mistake in Em's life, jumping in on a Craft Market stall with comedian Lizzy Hoo to sell a bunch of clothes and shoes. Em went in hard, we're talking swings tags, paper bags, classy coat hangers, clothing racks, full outfit washes and Em's mum Jenni stepping in to help organise and run the market stall too. It is a LOT and Em will never be doing it again. Finally there's the shocking news that Jennifer Lopez emailed Em to tell her that she was cancelling her ‘This Is Me…Now Live' tour, plus there's the latest attempts to prove her and Ben Affleck are still very much in love and all is fine in Bennifer land to check in on too. Plus there's much gushing when they both discuss the new doco based on the creator of The Muppets, Fraggle Rock, The Labyrinth and so much more, ‘Jim Henson Idea Man'. In our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael ‘Okay, Stop!' the viral TikTok of comedian Georgia Godworth vox popping the one and only Baz Luhrmann, whilst having zero idea she was chatting to someone so famous.
