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
