ABOUT THE HORNSEA
AMATEUR RADIO CLUB
The Club was formed in 1971. The three
storey building, where we used to meet had been unoccupied for about nine
years and was completely renovated by the hard work of club members. Unfortunately
time moves on and we have had to vacate and are currently seeking new
premisis to call a home. In the meantime, the Club continues and future
meetings will take place in the Outdoor Bowling
club in Hornsea as shown in the picture below.
HARC is affiliated to the RSGB and subscribes to the QRP club and local
repeater groups. It can also boast that two former R.S.G.B. presidents
were members of the Club, namely Joan G4CHH (SK) and Peter G4EJP (SK)
The
members interests include hf working including qrp, antenna design, home
construction, fox hunts, fast scan television and slow scan television
, microwaves, satellite working and computing, including digital techniques.
The
East Yorkshire Repeater Group (EYRG) many of whom are club members have
designed and built ATV repeaters for 23cm-GB3EY and 3cm-GB3XY. They are
responsible for these and also the voice repeaters GB3HS on 2m and GB7HU
a D-Star repeater on 70cm. Further information can be obtained from the
EYRG website.
