Hi Everyone.
Many will remember the Ukraine Radio Relief Appeal that we put out in 2022
https://narsa.org.uk/?page_id=3632
The fantastic responce we got meant that we shipped over 120 boxes of radio kit of all kinds to Zaparoizhzia Radio Club.
This kit has been distributed to as many radio amateurs as possible – repaired, reconstructed and now on the air.
You may have seen the news lately where there has been a “shift” politically which has not made the transport of the kit along with other aid such as medical/life saving and emergency supplies to the folks in the east of the country in the war zone any easier.
The “shift” along with the confusion of the political positions of various countries has meant that transport costs have shot up to the point of being unsustainable.
Unless the situation changes we are unable to accept any further donations.
There are some fantastic big hitters in the donation league out there plus the many that have given me a tenner at rallies to contribute to the funds for buying kit.
I hope to address all donatees directly but this notice is just to say that we cant accept anymore donations-sad as it maybe.
Whilst some kind of peace in Ukraine is very very welcome – once big hitter politicians get involved who can smell a profit out of all this misery then situations change.
To anyone who has donated kit either individually or via radio clubs an absolue massive THANK YOU !
I hope to compile a no holds barred review of everything that has gone on over the past 2 1/2 years when the dust settles.
We have shipped everything from fully working rigs right down to pl259 plugs and everything in between – TOTALLY AMAZING effort from NARSA members, Region 3 and beyond.
Best 73 and be in touch soon
