South East Clubs

The Sunshine Coast Amateur Radio Club is one of the larger Queensland clubs, established in 1970. We are very active providing communications assistance for various events with our communications caravan. We also offer license training and examinations.

Our clubrooms are generously provided by the Local Council on behalf of Main Roads.
