Caithness Amateur Radio Society is a small, friendly club that currently meet every other Thursday.(See info window above).
It began with the discovery of radio waves and the individuals like Hertz, Marconi, Tesla and Popov.
Keen on understanding more about the science, others began to follow their
experiments; this was the beginning of amateur radio.
Many Radio Amateurs today still experiment with new communication technology, though
this can often now involve computer software in the communication.
You do not need a licence to listen to radio amateurs but if you want to talk back to them on the amateur radio frequencies, then a licence to transmit is a legal requirement.
How do I get a licence? Please see our training page.
The club aims to promote amateur radio activities with like minded amateur radio operators, constructors (present & future) and short wave listeners. The focus is on participation in events that are difficult to do as individual hams.
From our homes we still take part in the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) club competitions. We are affiliated to the RSGB, see here.
