What the talkgroup is for

The Adverse Weather UK talkgroup provides a supportive space for amateur radio operators who may be travelling, operating solo, or otherwise isolated during challenging weather. It’s a reliable place to check in, request assistance in monitoring your progress, or simply have others listening who can offer reassurance, information, or guidance.

Check in: Share your location and status during adverse conditions.
Monitoring: Ask others to keep an ear on your route or schedule.
Reassurance: Friendly voices when conditions become difficult.
Information: Localised updates and practical guidance.

Operating principles

Be clear: Use plain language and confirm critical details.
Be concise: Keep transmissions short—others may be waiting.
Be courteous: Prioritise stations in distress or deteriorating conditions.
Be responsible: Follow your licence and local regulations at all times.
Be aware: Share relevant situational updates without speculation.

Suggested check‑in format

Use a simple structure so others can help quickly:

Callsign + Name
Location (town/road, grid, or lat/long)
Status (moving/stationary, solo/with passengers)
Conditions (snow, flooding, wind, visibility)
Request (monitor for 20 mins, route check, info relay)

Community support

This is a community‑driven support net. It helps UK amateurs stay connected, feel safer, and maintain situational awareness during adverse weather.

Wellbeing matters

A calm voice can make the difference. If you feel overwhelmed, ask for someone to monitor your progress and check back at agreed intervals.

Not a replacement for 999

This talkgroup does not replace emergency services or formal channels. If there’s immediate risk to life or property, call 999 and follow official guidance.

Important note

The talkgroup encourages responsible operating, promotes wellbeing, and strengthens the amateur radio community. It’s here so no operator feels alone when conditions deteriorate. Always follow your licence conditions, local regulations, and official advice.
