Today I received my SOS Radio Week Award that took place in january 2017. The goal was to work RNLI coast stations as much as possible. Because of the bad HF conditions it was difficult to work a lot.

Finally I had a QSO with six stations and got my award today.

SOS Radio Week (http://www.sosradioweek.org.uk) is an annual fun-raising event organised in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
Amateur Radio operators from all over the UK and Ireland come together for nine days and get themselves sponsored to make as many contacts as they can during the event.
Some participants operate on their own from home, others run special event stations from lifeboat stations, shopping centres and other public locations - all with a single aim; to raise money for the RNLI.
