Midsumma VI2021PRIDE recap

With the Midsumma parade completed this weekend, we close out yet another successful activation of our VI2021PRIDE event. Thanks for all who contacted us over the various Midsumma events. Many thanks to all of our operators. Shout out to Tony (VK3JED) who managed to gain our first internet relayed contact via D-STAR for VI2021PRIDE. I look forward to seeing more digi modes in future activations that Pride Radio Group perform.

Why are we running VI2021PRIDE?

By operating the special event callsign VI2021PRIDE we are :

• Celebrate who we are, and our history

• Allowing amateur radio operators to find our community and help us make amateur radio more inclusive

• Show those interested in joining amateur radio that the hobby is diverse

At Pride Radio Group our core values are :

• Encouraging, promoting and supporting diversity with the wider radio community

• Sharing our experiences and learnings with the community

• Celebrating and embracing pride on the air
