Local Military Radio event

Operation Manna and Operation Chowhound were humanitarian food drops to relieve the famine in Holland behind Nazi lines late in World War two. 20,000 people had died from starvation and 980,000 were malnourished. Many had survived by eating pets and spoiled food. Some even eating tulip bulbs leading to poisoning.

This year commemorates 80 years and there are plans to mark the event with special event stations and awards including 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum at Dickleburgh near Diss. The organisers of this Norfolk station are now looking for radio amateurs who can help them run the station at various times over the weekend of April 25th-27th 2025.

If you would like to be part of this please contact David G7URP and I will collate details and pass them on. My email address is radio@dcpmicro.com
