Next Sunday and Monday Kent hosts the G100RSGB station, on Sunday the 11th from Darenth Valley between 10am and 6pm, then on Monday the 12th with the Hilderstone club near Ramsgate. Hopefully band conditions will be good and they will have a credible number of contacts. If you want to visit or help work from either station contact the club directly, or let me know and I will provide you with the contact details.
EK CARRIER NEWSLETTER
Attached is the 2nd edition of the 'EK Carrier' produced for amateurs in the East of the county, but that?I believe will have a wider appeal. Thanks to Erwin G4LQI?for the work put into producing this newsletter, sending me a copy?and for allowing me to send this around to other clubs.

ADVANCED EXAM SUCCESS
I'm pleased to report that the Bredhurst club had a 100% pass with their seven candidates in the July Advanced exam. Congratulations to all those involved with the training and the candidates for putting in the effort to study. It's great to once again see that a number of clubs in the county offer Advanced level training, and I hope we continue to see candidates progress in their knowledge and experience through the clubs.

RSGB MEMBERSHIP
Many of you will have seen in last months RadCom a list covering several pages of new RSGB members. This was the initial take-up of the recent RSGB membership offer that attracted around 1,400 new members to the Society, which is a pleasing outcome from the Centenary celebration offer.
?
I know a number of amateurs?in Kent took up the offer, the key thing is now to retain as many of these new members next year when the renewal becomes due.?Please remember that you may pay your membership annually, quarterly or monthly if it is easier for you in spreading the cost, a call to the RSGB on 01234 832700 will sort this for you.
?
We have many?long term RSGB members in Kent who over the years have continued to support the RSGB work through their membership, and I hope we encourage our newly licensed ones to join up and play a part in maintaining and developing this hobby through the RSGB, among all the changes we see around in technology and regulations.
