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 |

Silent Key - Chris Newby-Robson - G1YVS
It is with sadness that we have to report that Chris (G1YVS) passed away suddenly in August 2020. He lived in Offord Darcy and was a past Chairman of Huntingdonshire Amateur Radio Society.
Chris was 70 this year, still working full time as a computer server analyst for Associated British foods. He nearly died 18 months ago when a gall bladder operation went wrong, but he overcame that.
Unfortunately he died of a major heart attack whist riding his bike. He would not have felt anything apparently. During lock down and with some free time he had, he was beginning to get on his radios again.
** Information supplied by his Widow, Mrs Janine Newby-Robson
