History of 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 . The club now meets meet in Buckden Village Hall. Newcomers will find a warm, friendly and informal atmosphere. Currently HARS have about 70 members, with wide interests in amateur radio including an active CW training and appreciation group. Everyone is welcome. |
