Club Activities & Events

Our club station has been in use since 2004 and is available to all suitably licensed members. Our Icom rig can be switched between a dipole for 80 metres or a Ultra 640 beam. We also have a SPE Expert amplifier. Being in a quiet RF location the station is very useful for members in a noisy area or cannot have a beam at their QTH.
