About

Warrington Amateur Radio Club

The Club was formed in 1947 and meets on Tuesdays at 8.00 PM Local Time. It offers technical talks and demonstrations about radio. The group also operates its own station and throughout the year members compete in amateur radio contests.

The club also establishes temporary radio stations at local events such as scout jamborees and local fetes. There are also many social events for members and friends.

The Club has over 50 participants and is affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB). Several members are involved in training courses for people wanting to take up the hobby and obtain a radio amateurs licence.

There is a broad technical knowledgebase within the membership and assistance and advice for newcomers is readily offered. Facilities available include an amateur radio station, test equipment and an extensive technical library.

The club room was relocated on the ground floor level in January 2007 and work is ongoing to make it completely accesible to whelchair users and others with disabilities.
