We are a group of local radio amateurs who meet at 7.45pm every other Friday evening at Cyprus Hall in Burgess Hill West Sussex where we have a fully equipped radio shack allowing communications worldwide.
Our meetings range from talks by guest speakers or members on a variety of subjects, evenings on the air using the shack equipment, equipment sales and social gatherings or "Natter Nights"
Our members are of all ages and have interests in many aspects of Amateur Radio.
Members often bring along projects or help each other on construction or technical issues relating to the hobby during these evenings.
We also enjoy outdoor activities such as direction finding contests, participate in annual VHF field day competitions and regularly mount special event stations.
Amateur Radio is a great hobby that will last a lifetime, You can learn how to become an efficient radio operator and how to make your signals reach the far corners of the globe.
We have members who not only transmit using voice or CW (Morse code) but also exchange pictures, video and text messages as well as having advanced two-way digital exchanges - all on frequencies exclusively licenced to amateurs. This is a great opportunity for younger people who may want a career in software development, electronics or communications, as they will pick up many useful skills whilst progressing through the various disciplines.
We can teach all the techniques required to obtain an amateur radio licence, as well as hosting both introductory and advanced online training courses on a number of related subjects.
Why not come along one Friday evening and see what the hobby is all about? You will be very welcome, and we can give you a demonstration of the 'shack' radio equipment, including our latest 24/7 web-connected Software Defined Radio project.
