Hydrogen to power special event station
by RSGB and OARC
Members of the Orkney Amateur Radio Club will be doing their bit to help the environment next month when they power a special event station using hydrogen. Hydrogen is widely tipped as the fuel to stave off global warming. The only emission from burning it is water.
The special event station has been given the special call GB1H (the H standing for hydrogen) to mark the fact that it will be one of the first amateur radio stations ever to be powered entirely by hydrogen. GB1H will be on air over 7 to 10 September as part of the Orkney International Science Festival. It will be transmitted from the Isle of Stronsay where a conference on the potential of hydrogen technology will be taking place.
