About Our ClubThe Huntingdonshire Amateur Radio Society (HARS) was formed in the mid 1980s and amalgamated with the local repeater group for GB3OV meeting in local pubs and later in 1988 at the Medway Centre in Huntingdon. For 4 years up until 2015 we met at Hemingford Abbots Golf Club and now we meet in Buckden Village Hall. Newcomers will find a warm, friendly and informal atmosphere. Currently HARS have about eighty members, including ladies, with wide interests in amateur radio including an active CW training and appreciation group. Club Details HERE |

Huntingdonshire ARS International Museums Weekend 2020 SES Report.
Museums On The Air SES for HARS was going to be different this year, our 14th year, at Ramsey Rural
Museum due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Members were going to be operating the SES from their home QTHs.
The NOV was obtained by M0VTG with the following callsigns passed to Ofcom as operators:
G1KWF - HF SSB
G4KLE - HF CW
G6OHM – 2M FM
M0SKT – HF SSB & HF FT8
This year we decided to operate over both weekends, third and forth weekends in June, rather than our normal forth weekend only.
Operations took place on each of the four days between 09:00 Hrs and 16:00 Hrs UTC. Band conditions were not favourable on 80 and 40 on either weekends, with long periods of no activity. Also high local QRM levels were encountered from home QTHs rather than the normal S1 to S2 levels at the museum.
Stations worked:
G1KWF HF SSB = 80m 37, 40m 43, Best DX Italy
G4KLE HF CW = 80m 1, 40m 45, 20 1, Best DX Lucca, Italy
G6OHM 2M FM = Simplex 28, Via Repeater 2, Via Hubnet 7, Best DX Liverpool (via Hubnet)
M0SKT HF SSB = 40m 2
M0SKT HF FT8 = 20m 26, 17m 2, 15m 4, Best DX Symour, Tennessee
Finally a big thanks to all who operated the SES this year and hopefully we will be back at our usual location next year.
