Summer free radio gathering cancelled

The annual get-together for free radio fans and pirate radio operators in the Netherlands has been cancelled because of the Covid-19 emergency.

The Shortwave Combination Holland (SWCH) was organising this summer's event. But in a statement on their website, SWCH said the crisis has made it impossible for social distancing rules to be maintained if too many attended.

"We are very sorry to inform you of this, we would have liked to continue the Summer BBQ meeting, but the 1.5 meter measure is taking this opportunity away. We look forward to seeing you at the Summer BBQ meeting next year."

The annual summer meeting has proved a popular event in the free radio calendar giving listeners and operators from across Europe a chance to meet up and chat about radio over a few beers.
