The Club was formed in 1971. The three storey building, which
the club now occupies, had been unoccupied for about nine years and was
completely renovated by the hard work of club members. The club now consists
of a fully equiped lecture hall ( the result of a Lottery grant), a lounge
area and a well appointed shack. There are facilities for operating h.f.
vhf, uhf and fast scan TV.
The Club is affiliated to the RSGB and subscribes to the QRP club and
local repeater groups. It can also boast that there are two former R.S.G.B.
presidents still members of the Club, namely G4CHH and G4EJP.
The members interests include hf working including qrp, antenna design,
home construction, fox hunts, fast scan television and slow scan television
