Our club meets every month, normally on the third Tuesday. Our meetings typically involve a radio based talk or presentation followed by a chance to catch up over a cuppa.
Do you have an interesting radio related topic to share? We are always looking for interesting presentations and ideas for our club meetings. If you have a story to tell and fancy sharing some interesting aspect of our hobby then please get in touch with our Membership Secretary by emailing membership@verulam-arc.org.uk.
VARC has been running an antenna shootout competition for several years now and this is the first time we will be holding it at our new cabin site. This year, the chosen band is 10 metres and the antenna needs to be self-supporting. John (5B4AAB) will be listening out for our calls in Cyprus and will judge the winner based upon signal strength. We look forward to seeing you there - look out for photos afterwards. The Verulam Amateur Radio Club celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2021, but due to the ongoing pandemic, these celebrations were very muted. Now that restrictions have eased, we will be operating a special event station from the popular DDRC Rally on Sunday 22nd May. This is the first time that the rally has been able to operate since the pandemic so we are looking forward to meeting up with old friends and potential new members that are interested in Amateur Radio. We plan to operate on 40m, 20m and 2m - depending on the noise levels on the day. We will be using the special event callsign of GB6VER. If you are attending the rally in person then look out for us up near the concession stands. We will also be running a stall within the main rally area.
