On The AirWhy not join our "meeting on the air." Every Wednesday evening at 7.30pm (19.30 hours) local time. We call on 145.500MHz and then move to a free channel (normally 145.550MHz).
You could also find us on-the-air on Monday evenings when we are operating from the School On Bank Holiday Monday afternoons (from about 1pm to about 4pm) we operate from an elevated location at Crickley Hill Country Park (entrance at grid reference SO936163). Join us or listen for our call sign: G4AYMCrickley Hill Country Park is about 6 miles (10km) south of Cheltenham, close to the junction of the A417 and A436. From the "Air Balloon" public house and roundabout, which is on the junction, take the A436 which is signed to Oxford. After about 100yards (100m) turn left towards Cheltenham. The entrance to the Country Park is about 300 yards (300m) down the Cheltenham Road on the left. Click here to see some photographs of club members at our Bank Holiday "on-the-air" site. |

We try to have a formal meeting, such as a lecture, on the first Monday in each month that we meet at the school. However, this sometimes changes due to scheduling difficulties with the speaker so please keep an eye on the website. The third Monday is designated as a Newcomers Night where we aim to give a talk that will appeal to newly licenced amateurs and short wave listeners. We run operating/construction/informal meetings or DF Hunts on the other Mondays.
These less formal meetings give members a chance to get on the air, do some construction work, just have a good old chin-wag with some old friends, or make some new friends.
We also have rigs and equipment for members to use.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are normally available (for a small charge) at our meetings
Why not join us? Come along and we will make you very welcome.
