GB2RS News Sunday, the 28th of December 2025 The news headlines: Dr Julian Gannaway, G3YGF, is now a Silent Key Become a member of the RSGB Legacy Committee The RSGB 2026 Convention planning team opens the call for proposals It is with great sadness that we share the news that Dr Julian Gannaway, G3YGF, is now a Silent Key. He volunteered for the RSGB over many years, most recently on the RSGB Examination Standards Committee and as a corresponding member of the Spectrum Forum. He was made an RSGB Honorary Life President after serving as RSGB President in 1989. Julian's contribution to amateur radio was widespread, and we will share a fuller tribute in due course. The RSGB Legacy Fund has resources available to encourage and develop amateur radio. It is overseen by the Legacy Committee, which is a sub-committee of the RSGB Board. The Legacy Committee considers applications from individuals and groups and advises the RSGB Board in reaching its funding decision. It is currently looking for a new member to support this important work to help amateur radio move forward. To find out more, go to rsgb.org/volunteers Have you been involved in some research or been part of a project that will take amateur radio to new audiences? Maybe your organisation is working to encourage young people into STEM careers and support the radio engineers of the future? Perhaps you have discovered something new in amateur radio or have helped to make the hobby more inclusive and accessible. The Society has started planning its 2026 Convention and is offering radio amateurs the opportunity to propose a presentation or a practical activity and be part of the weekend's programme. Submit your proposal on these, or any other topics, by sending the title and at least a one-paragraph summary of your suggestion to convention@rsgb.org.uk Time is running out to be part of two exciting opportunities to make an impact with the RSGB. The Society is seeking a full-time, highly motivated Operations Manager to be part of its senior leadership team, based at the RSGB HQ in Bedford. It is also looking for a new contractor or agency to work with, to support the development of RSGB advertising and contribute to the growth of its publications and digital platforms. If you are professional, proactive and excited by either of these opportunities, go to the RSGB website at rsgb.org/careers to find out more. The application deadline for both is the 4th of January 2026. A reminder that RSGB HQ is closed over the festive season and opens again for business at 8.30 am on Monday, the 5th of January 2026. The exams booking system will remain open at rsgb.org/exampay during the festive season so you can book exams to take on the 5th of January onwards. The RSGB National Radio Centre will be operating reduced opening hours and will shut its doors at 2 pm on New Year's Eve and remain closed on New Year's Day. In addition to this, it will be shut for essential maintenance works on the 5th and 6th of January. Outside of these times, volunteers look forward to welcoming visitors as usual. Youngsters on the Air Month 2025 has been filled with some brilliant activity from young people using the special callsign GB25YOTA. Before the year ends, there is still time to listen out for operators from the RSGB Outreach Team, Bushvalley Amateur Radio Club, the 2nd Marlborough Scouts, Hilderstone Radio Society and Jon, M0NOJ. View the operating schedule at rsgb.org/yota-month The RSGB would like to thank everyone who has been involved with YOTA Month, from supervising young radio amateurs to making QSOs with them. If you have been involved with the event and would like your activity to be in a special feature in the March edition of RadCom, email your photos and report to radcom@rsgb.org.uk by the 23rd of January 2026. Give something back to the amateur radio community in 2026 by becoming an RSGB volunteer. The Society has several opportunities to suit different interests and experiences. If you would like to use your skills to help strengthen the future of amateur radio and to provide services for other radio amateurs, go to rsgb.org/volunteers Please send details of all your news and events to radcom@rsgb.org.uk. Please note there will be no GB2RS broadcast on Sunday, the 4th of January 2026, but many newsreaders will be holding informal nets in their usual broadcasting slots. And now for details of rallies and events Sparkford Radio Rally is taking place today, Sunday the 28th of December at Davis Hall, Howell Hill, West Camel, near Yeovil, BA22 7QX.

Now the radio propagation report compiled by G0KYA and G3YLA on Thursday, December 23rd, 2025. We have had some solar ups and downs over the past week. A high-speed stream from a large coronal hole has kept the Kp index high at times, plus the solar flux index has been relatively low due to a lack of sunspots. The coronal hole has been massive, covering from the Sun's south pole right up to and past the solar equator. Nevertheless, there has been DX about, including PZ3OZ in Surinam on 80m FT8 and 40m CW, ZS7ANF in Antarctica on 30m CW, and TG9ADM in Guatemala on 10m CW. Also spotted have been some of the ‘12 Days of Christmas stations in the US', including W2R/5 in Arizona on 15m CW. Let's take a look at HF propagation over the next two weeks. According to NOAA, we may be in for a bumpy ride. The Kp index is predicted to rise to six on the 30th of December and stay high until early January. Meanwhile, at the same time, the SFI is predicted to rise to 170. The best time for HF may be after the 3rd of January, when the Kp index is predicted to fall to a more reasonable two to three, while the SFI remains in the 150-160 range. There should be plenty of activity on HF, with the G-QRP club's Winter Sports running up until the 1st of January, and a whole range of contests, from the RSGB's AFS CW Contest from 1300hrs UTC - 1700hrs UTC on the 3rd of January, to the Marconi Club ARI Loano QSO Party from 0700hrs UTC - 2100hrs UTC, also on the 3rd of January. Keep an eye on www.contestcalendar.com for updates. We hope you have a happy New Year and look forward to bringing you more HF propagation news in 2026. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO. The Christmas week saw a brief cold easterly around Christmas Day, then milder air returned around the top of the large area of high pressure. We go through the next week with the high pressure just to the north or west of Britain, and this will bring a more northerly flow across the country and, although initially milder, will become much colder again for the second half of next week. Since it is primarily a high-pressure week, there's always a chance of Tropo, but not everywhere. It's suggested you look for regions of cloud and fog for the best paths since it shows there is moisture under the inversion … a good thing for Tropo. The solar conditions are likely to offer prospects for aurora, and since this period is between two meteor showers, with the second one, the Quadrantids, peaking on the 4th at the end of the week. Finally, a note to follow up on last week's heads-up for mid-winter Sporadic-E. It's certainly worth checking for digital modes and quite possibly for SSB/CW on 10m and 6m if there are signs of activity. For EME operators, Moon declination is rising again, and path losses are decreasing as we head towards perigee on the 2nd of January, the point where the Moon is closest to Earth. 144 MHz sky noise remains low until the 14th to 18th of January. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Wir sprechen über einen vierten Platz bei der Beachvolleyball WM, die Curling EM und natürlich über all das, was am Wochenende im Wintersport so passiert ist.
Dass der bevorstehende Winter ein besonderer wird, ist schon in diesen Tagen zu spüren - und auch gleich in der ersten Folge der neuen Staffel Dreierbob, dem Wintersport-Podcast von Sächsische.de und RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND). Olympia ist eben nur alle vier Jahre - und in vielen Sportlerbiografien ein tatsächlich einmaliges Erlebnis. Er übertrifft auch diesbezüglich alles: Francesco Friedrich. Für den Bobdominator, unter anderem zweimal zweifacher Olympiasieger, werden es die vierten Spiele sein, wenn sich im Februar 2026 in Cortina d‘Ampezzo die Elite des Wintersports zu dem alles überragenden Höhepunkt trifft. Im italienischen Dolomiten-Dorf, bekanntgeworden in den 1950er-Jahren durch den legendären Eugenio Monti, will Friedrich seine ohnehin schon außergewöhnlich erfolgreiche Karriere endgültig krönen. Und danach den Schlitten für immer in die Garage stellen? Der Dreierbob fragt nach - und Friedrich antwortet ausführlich. Der 35 Jahre alte Weltklasse-Pilot aus Pirna spricht über seine Erwartungen an die Olympia-Saison und die Spiele selbst, und er erzählt von der nicht konfliktfreien Sommervorbereitung. Dass er beim Hausputz von der Leiter fiel und sich an der Hand verletzte, ist dabei eine Anekdote, über die Friedrich schmunzeln kann. Wenngleich er auch sagt: „Das war ein Warnschuss.“ Außerdem berichtet Gerd Leopold, stellvertretender Bundestrainer und seit 17 Jahren Heimtrainer von Friedrich, wie das deutsche Team aufgestellt ist. Dabei geht es auch um den Wettkampf der Dauerrivalen Friedrich und Johannes Lochner. Zudem geht es auch um die Folgen des Dopingfalls bei Anschieber Simon Wulff. Und schließlich berichtet noch Jens Morgenstern, der Chef am SachsenEnergie-Eiskanal, von Bauarbeiten und einem kniffeligen Defekt, der die Saisonvorbereitung turbulent werden ließ.
Thomas Sykora zählt zu den erfolgreichsten Slalomläufern Österreichs. Neun Weltcupsiege, zwei Kristallkugeln und Olympia-Bronze machten ihn in den 1990er-Jahren zu einer prägenden Figur im Weltcup. Heute ist er seit über zwei Jahrzehnten als ORF-Experte eine der vertrautesten Stimmen des Wintersports.Im Zwischenstopp erzählt der fünffache Familienvater von seinen Anfängen im niederösterreichischen Hochkar, von selbstgehackten Haselnussstangen und dem Moment, in dem ihm eine Lehrerin sagte: »Skirennläufer ist kein Beruf.« Er spricht über frühe Zweifel, einen fast vollzogenen Nationenwechsel und was ihn mit Hermann Maier verbindet.Sykora gewährt Einblicke in seine größten Erfolge, legendäre Rivalitäten und eine kuriose Unterhosen-Wette mit Alberto Tomba. Er erklärt, warum der Ganslernhang in Kitzbühel sein »Wohnzimmer« wurde und welcher Erfolg ihm bis heute am wichtigsten ist. Offen spricht er über seinen schweren Patellasehnenriss, die lange Reha und warum das Überholen einer Pensionistin für ihn »wie ein Weltcupsieg« war.Außerdem geht es um seine zweite Karriere beim ORF: legendäre Kamerafahrten, ausgeschlagene Zähne, verpasste Starts und was ihn am Live-Kommentar fasziniert. Sykora spricht auch über Unternehmertum, die Corona-Krise und seine Insolvenz, die binnen einer Stunde österreichweit in den Medien stand. Ebenso über Selbstwert, Rückschläge und den Satz: »Der Urlaub war besser geplant als mein Leben« sowie über Marcel Hirscher, dessen Comeback und warum er mittlerweile selbst auf Van-Deer-Ski unterwegs ist. Das und vieles mehr in der 27.

KAP Podcast über Kunst, Kultur, Architektur, Wissenschaft und Forschung
Eine nackte Frau auf Skiern vor einer Almhütte, ein Liebespaar beim Sex – damit verbindet man den Tiroler Maler Alfons Walde eher nicht. Bekannt ist er für seine funkelnden Schneelandschaften, Skifahrern, Bäuerinnen und Tänzerinnen, die das Erscheinungsbild der Alpenregion und das Grafikdesign der 1920er-Jahre nachhaltig mitgestaltet haben. Über Walde als Vertreter der Klassischen Moderne und Vorreiter modernen Wintersports der in seiner Heimatstadt Kitzbühel auch rauschende, teils legendäre Feste feierte, sprechen wir mit drei Experten, die nach acht Jahren Arbeit das erste vollständige Werkverzeichnis des Künstlers herausgebracht haben. Dr. Gert Ammann, Michael Walde‑Berger und Dr. Carl Kraus über Alfons Walde, seine ikonischen Winterlandschaften, das Kitzbühel-Logo und die Bedeutung von 4000 Werken für Kunst und Kultur der Alpenregion. Birgit Eller Krumm und Nicola Eller sind Kapitäne der Folge 107von KAP Podcast. Alfons Walde - 1891 in Oberndorf einem kleinen Dorf nahe Kitzbühel geboren, ist das Leben von Alfons Walde, geprägt von den imposanten Bergwelten der Kitzbüheler Alpen und den Menschen die darin leben. Durch sein Studium in Wien lernte er auch die wichtigsten Mitglieder der Wiener Secession wie Egon Schiele und Gustav Klimt kennen und lies sich von ihnen in seinem künstlerischen Schaffen bestärken. Beeinflusst vom Secessionismus, schuf er Stillleben, Landschaftsbilder und Szenen aus dem bäuerlichen Leben. Alfons Walde wurde vor allem durch die 1920 bis 1938 entstandenen Plakate mit Winterlandschaften und Wintersportmotiven international bekannt. Dr. Gert Ammann - 1943 geboren in Bregenz, Studium der Kunstgeschichte an der Universität Innsbruck, seit 1968 am Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck tätig, von 1985 bis 2005 dessen Direktor. 1983 Habilitation für Österreichische Kunstgeschichte.
