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.
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.

The Humber Fortress DX ARC has once again been invited by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, to put on a station during International Lighthouse on the Air weekend, Spurn High Light is a visitor attraction, and the tallest lighthouse in Northern England!
Made of 300,000 Staffordshire bricks, with a height of 128ft (39m) and 145 steps to the top landing, providing a spectacular view of the Spurn nature reserve and the River Humber.
We are pleased to have been invited back by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust to help promote the restored Spurn High lighthouse for the 25 Anniversary of International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend and to back to Spurn Point to activate GB2SL.
Since our last visit, there have been changes to the shape of Spurn Point and it is now inaccessible to road transport due to the storms of 2013.
With at least a 200yrd break between the mainland and Spurn Point making a newly created island at high tide.
We are taking a small team of 12, regrettably, only those who can climb Stairs can attend this event, manpower and equipment will be ferried to the site by the YWT, in “or should that be on” their Unimog all-terrain vehicle.
