Mills On The Air GB2DWM - May 2024
The HARS SES Team took part in the MOTA weekend with 11 Callsigns working the station equipment. Harsh HF conditions made HF operating a challenge, however we did get some VHF contacts logged.
The warm sunny weather and location made the weekend very enjoyable.

HARS Radio Rally August Bank Holiday Monday 24
Once again we held this annual event at Ernulf Academy, St Neots which proved to be successful for the Club, Traders, Sellers and Visitors alike. The weather was kind to us which helped bring up the numbers and made it a social as well as a trading day. Our catchment area for this rally has a large footprint and is always supported by our regular Traders and Sellers plus of course our Ice Cream van and Burger Bar. We appreciate everyone that attends as the revenue supports our Repeater GB3OV which has had a recent upgrade in June this year, we thank you and may your generous support continue.
Thanks to the 12 Club Members on Duty for the day you helped make the day go smoothly.

Railways on the Air - Sept 2024
A small HARS SES Team took part in the ROTA on Sunday 22nd September making some quality and lengthy QSO's with fellow amateurs around the World; albeit a damp day we worked well to achieve an excellent result by the time we cut the coax. This is a one day event from 10-4pm which included setting up and de-rigging in that timescale, we worked well in partnership with Riverside Miniature Railways Volunteers who have welcomed us back in 2025.
This is our last SES for 2024, we have had a very enjoyable time discussing all things radio amateur wise with plenty of banter, tea/coffee and meeting different people out in the Community whilst we promote amateur radio. Any Member that wants to run a SES for HARS please contact our Chairman John G0FIK

Railways On The Air - September 2023
This was the last Special Event Station GB2RMR for HARS 'Field' Season with Club Members meeting up at the Riverside Miniature Railway - St Neots, this was the first time in a few years that we have run ROTA SES and the first time at St Neots. Working conditions were good but challenging due to our set up not being quite right, however is did create a lot of discussion about antenna suitability at the location with plans for 2024 to improve the situation.
