If you use the lakes, canals, or any other waterways in Great Britain almost as much as you use your radio, now is the time to combine the two activities. Registration has begun for British Inland Waterways on the Air, which takes place during the August Bank Holiday Weekend. The organisers are encouraging early registration, hoping that radio operators will identify the days they are operating and on what modes.

The event takes place on Saturday the 23rd August to bank holiday Monday 25th. You can operate on or near the various waterways throughout the UK; primary bands will be 2 metres and 40 metres.
