Online Amateur Radio Community Events
Welcome to the Online Amateur Radio Community!
There are two ways you can enjoy our events. Members can take part in events on Zoom. Visitors are welcome to watch our YouTube LiveStream and comment in the chat. Although we monitor chat, please note live streams have about a minute delay.
Our community is free to join, it is built on the community platform Discord. We offer a club without a committee, built and run by it's members for it's members. Rooms are open 24/7, we have specialist chat, training at all levels, we are associated with the RSGB and provide their Brickworks scheme.
We host regular events, both social and structured on Zoom.
While we know that using a new platform like Discord can take some time to learn, we believe what we have is well worth it. We hope, by providing our events on YouTube, you can get a taste of what our community is all about.

Ian only got started working portable in 2024, but quickly caught the bug, and 100-or-so park activations later, he'll share what he's learned about rigs, antennas, batteries, and operating techniques. From tough mountain climbs to the park down the road, and even just operating from your car, portable operating has something for every level of fitness and appetite for adventure! |
