History of the HARS Club
The Huntingdonshire Amateur Radio Society (HARS) was formed in the mid 1980's and amalgamated with the Local Repeater Group for GB3OV meeting in local Pubs and later in 1988 at the Medway Centre in Huntingdon, Cambs. For the four years up until 2015 the Club regularly met at Hemingford Abbots Golf Club twice a month. Nowadays the Club now meets at the Buckden Village Hall, Buckden, Cambs. Newcomers will find a warm, friendly, relaxed and informal atmosphere with plenty of like minded people willing to share their experiences and knowledge with you. Currently HARS have over 70 active Members with very wide interests in amateur radio operating including an active CW training and appreciation group. HARS holds two amateur callsigns - GØHSR GXØHSR Everyone is welcome to attend - John GØFIK (Club Chairman) |
