We aim to create an environment where experienced operators, returning amateurs, newly licensed members and complete beginners can learn together, ask questions, build confidence and enjoy the hobby.

We support

- Licensed amateurs looking for advice or support
- Short-wave listeners and radio enthusiasts
- Members interested in contests and special events
- Technical learning, antennas and station projects
- Community groups wanting to understand radio
Curious about amateur radio?
You do not need to know everything before speaking to us. If you are interested in amateur radio, unsure where to start, or simply want to understand what the hobby is about, our members will help.
We can explain the licence route, show you the station, introduce you to the bands and help you understand what equipment and antennas are actually needed.
