Permanent Special Event Stations

The following GB callsigns are all permanent stations.

Many of these permanent stations are set up in museums/historical sights of amateur radio interest which can be visited.
If you do visit any of these places of interest, it may be useful to take your licence validation document with you as you may be allowed to operate the station during your visit (at the discretion of the station operators).

Application for a new permanent SES station should be made firstly to Ofcom, enclosing proof that the station is on show to the general public throughout the year and details of the callsign of the club station.
