After nearly 12 months of radio operating on the ATC HF, VHF and Datacomms nets, completing a constructional project for HF weather fax decoding and practice with Internet Communications, three 425 cadets (seen above with the CO) have been awarded their Air Cadet Communicator badges. These are the first Communicator badges to be awarded to 425's cadets, and are amongst the first in the Region.

425's Radio Section Cadets at the Military Vehicle Trust 2002 National Show

During the last weekend in June, 425's radio section cadets supported VMARS - the Vintage and Military Amateur Radio Society - at the Military Vehicle Trust's 2002 national show.

During the event cadets operated on the ATC HF National Net and the 40m amateur radio band from a Russian Zil R-161 communications vehicle, passing voice messages, and receiving a broadcast data transmission on the SCC National Net.

Traffic was also passed using our GR479 and BCC32 HF SSB stations.

The callsign used during the event was  MRV66
