GB0MMH Men’s International Health weekend @ millhouse Glamping
Jun 16 @ 7:30 PM – Jun 18 @ 3:00 PM

The Humber Fortress DX ARC is supporting the 2023 International Men’s Health Week, and raising the profile of the Mens Mental Health campaign throughout the International Community. We will be operating from the Mill House throughout the weekend 16th – 18th June using the Special Call of GB0MMH across all the HF bands. Please listen out for us and give us a call, your support will help raise the awareness of Men’s Mental Health on a massive scale.

                                    

Men have been reluctant to talk about their problems for many many years and felt they had nowhere or anyone that could help them with how they are feeling. Many organisations have now come to the aid of this International illness for the men who have suffered in silence for so long.

It’s good to talk, and even better when you have support at hand which thousands of men are making the most of currently.

The links below can provide you with more in-depth information on the topic and help anyone who is reaching out for support. If you need any help or know anyone who may be suffering in silence as a result of depression through financial or family-related issues, then please pass on the information from the fantastic community who are supporting Men’s Mental Health.

Mens Health Forum

Man Health

Man Up

One very close to our hearts is Andy’s Man Club with one of the HFDXARC members, Liam M7LCB being heavily involved with helping men to open up about their illness giving them support through TALKING and being the shoulder they need.

Jun 23 @ 7:30 PM – Jun 25 @ 3:00 PM

INTERNATIONAL MUSEUMS ON THE AIR  24/25 JUNE 2023.

GB0FP Fort Paull

MUSEUM Now Closed to the Public from 2019 

This year again see’s Humber Fortress DX A.R.C participating in this event.

 
Operating from the clubhouse station 
 
This has been one of our popular events over many years with over 10,000 stations contacted worldwide!!!.
Listen out for GB0FP on 160,80,40,20, 15, 10, & local VHF or check out the DX clusters for us.
 
Fort Paull was a great place to visit as it took you back to the Napoleonic times when this establishment was first in use in the 15th century through world wars 1&2 and up to the late 1960s when the MOD decommissioned it.
It was a great family venue with lots to do to entertain the children whilst mum & dad had time to relax and unwind in the well-kept grounds.
 
Fort Paull was also the home of the last remaining Blackburn Beverly transport aircraft in the world!!,
a unique aircraft that was open to the public with lots of displays inside and out.
