  Radio Society of Great Britain Centenary 2013

A commemorative cover is being issued on 5th July to mark the Centenary of
the *Radio Society of Great Britain*, the body that represents Britain’s
radio amateurs.

The cover being released through Bletchley Stamp Art features the Duke of
Edinburgh against a montage of vintage and modern images. The stamp is
Royal Mail’s “Station X� with a Bletchley Park Post Office cachet. This
bears the early code number for Fenny Stratford post office and the
undercover PO Box 111 address for Bletchley Park. The newly restored RSGB
‘hut’ at Bletchley Park provides the link to the cover design and stamp
choice. The exhibit offers visitors a fascinating insight into the world of
radio.

Only 250 covers are being issued and a limited number are available to non
RSGB members at £14.99 plus post and packing. They can be viewed and
ordered through the website at
bletchleycovers.com<http://www.bletchleycovers.com/>or by calling
01908 363489.

Starting life as the London Wireless Club, the RSGB has since its inception
brought together people with an interest in radio communication. The
Society provided the framework within which the pioneers and experimenters
of radio technology have thrived.

RSGB Members have been at the forefront of the major contributions made to
radio technology. Radio intelligence, television, radar development,
re-designing the Iron lung and the discovery of Pulsars all had radio
amateurs working on them. The influence of amateurs across science,
technology, medicine and the communications industry has been huge.

One hundred years later, the RSGB still provides a platform for the
exchange of ideas amongst experimenters and, although the technologies may
have changed, the amateur spirit has not. With this background many
thousands of radio amateurs in the UK are proud to celebrate the Centenary
of their organisation, the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB).
