This is the second event of it’s kind and hopefully will lead to more. The idea is to encourage 2m FM simplex use around the country with ad-hoc nets forming in different regions or areas. There are a number of different threads around the web where people are discussing potential activity. Many SOTA activators are planning summit activations to coincide with the activity period and will have good coverage thanks to their elevation.
The event takes place between 13:00Hrs and 15:00Hrs BST (12:00 – 14:00 UTC) on Saturday 29 April 2023. Updated information will probably appear first on the 145 Alive Facebook Group although there is an active discussion taking place on the SOTA reflector:

Definitely time to get the old 2m FM gear out for an airing, from your home QTH if you’re blessed with a good location, otherwise consider going portable somewhere in the open.
