About our club

Background

The Huntingdonshire Amateur Radio Society (HARS) was formed in the mid 1980s and amalgamated with the local repeater group for GB3OV meeting in local pubs and later in 1988 at the Medway Centre in Huntingdon. From June 2011 we were fortunate to be offerred the Hemingford Abbotts Golf Club where we were able to erect antennas.

Newcomers will find a warm, friendly and informal atmosphere with a bar for those who wish to imbibe but please remember the drive home. Currently HARS have about fifty members, including ladies, with wide interests in amateur radio including an active CW training and appreciation group.
