ABOUT THE HORNSEA AMATEUR RADIO
CLUB
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 equipped
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.
HARC is affiliated to the RSGB and subscribes to the QRP club
and local repeater groups. It can also boast that two
former R.S.G.B. presidents are members of the Club, namely G4CHH
and G4EJP.
The members interests include hf working including qrp, antenna
