Huntingdonshire Amateur Radio GOHSR          Society          GXOHSR 


A Radio Society of Great Britain affiliated club
FIST'S affiliated club   #20940

About Our Club


​The 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.
