CQ CQ CQ DE FORT PERCH ROCK
Hello all you ex R/O's and ETO's. We are presently looking for some volunteers with 1 or 2 free days a month in the kids school holidays or at weekends to come to Fort Perch Rock, New Brighton, Wirral to help show the visitors around the 3 ships radio stations and the brand new Radar and AIS units together with charts on PC that are being installed as we speak and should be completed in the next week or two.
We have got the best view of the River Mersey anywhere around the area!! Also have the VHF set on Mersey Radio ch12 so we can both see and hear the river traffic.
So if you guys have a bit of free time and want to get out of the house and take some trips down memory lane and add to the education of the general public and not let Marine Radio be forgotten and keep your old grey cells in working order please send me an email. Also if you would like to visit the Fort to help you make up your mind that can be arranged ok.
