Railways On The Air - GB2RMR Sept 2025
HARS had yet another very successful and productive weekend during the annual Railways on the Air event in St Neots, Cambridgeshire. We had 13 Club members attending to assist in turns with running the two stations on the air and talking to the many Visitors who walked by our gazebo. We recorded 160 QSO's during the event with most of them on the 40 Mtrs Band due to the very good working conditions.

HARS Annual Radio Rally – 2025
Well, here is a quick update on our 2025 Rally which is in support of the GB3OV Repeater, the major annual cost to the Club.
Having had to move to the new venue at Ramsey Rural Museum, Ramsey, Cambridgeshire due to spiralling cost and over complicated admin at the previous venue it seems that the new location is more favourable and a welcomed refresh to this year’s attendees. Some feedback/comments from Wives, Partners, Girlfriends saying that they had time to look around the museum which gave them something to do while their menfolk indulged in the rally.
Promotion and advertising for the change of venue was highlighted early in 2025 when we agreed to move the Rally location and continuously via RADCOM, GB2RS, RSGB Region 12 Facebook, HARS Website, HARS Facebook, verbally on OV during the various Nets and word of mouth when members were attending local Radio Rallies. This year we had our ‘Talk-In station’ operated by Mick M0IXL which proved popular.
We had Traders and Seller come from Caerphilly, Boston, Peterborough, Dereham, Wisbech, Spalding, Northampton, Bedford, Ely, Stanmore (North London), Milton Keynes and Huntingdon. The Traders/Sellers supplied many varieties of small and large radio related items including bags of Apples, Pears, Tomatoes and Plumbs. Our Bring and Buy area was very active with a copious amount of movement on the items provided for sale plus plenty of exchanges on agreement of ‘reasonable prices’.
So, plenty of bargains to be had during the day by one and all so a large amount of stock has found new homes, owners and uses.
Our usual mobile Caterer provided hot food, drinks, cold bottles of water and pop with seating and tables available as well free of charge!
Overall, when comparing the last couple of years, the Traders and Public numbers were slightly down (due new location) on previous years but the overall cash amount raised was up.
To organise and run the Rally we had 18 Member volunteer during the Set up on the Sunday and to run and clear up on the Monday, with out there help it would not run as smooth as it does, six other members were noted around the venue.
Feedback from Attendees
Positive - Good location, brilliant venue, plenty of space, easier to get too, looking forward to next year, friendly and helpful team of Club members, questions from Public/Traders were answered quickly, shade for car parking if needed, has the Rural Museum and Tea room to visit as well, best Rally some people have been to. (these are controllable for HARS Committee)
Negative - Road network, condition of local roads, Postcode for the whole of the street not the Museum. (these are outside of the HARS Committee control)
Thanks go to Steve G1KWF who was the Museum contact and Malcolm M0OLG (previous Rally Organiser) for providing the advice and guidance and all the Club Committee for all their support.
