The society usually meets on the 2nd & 4th Mondays of the month with a break during January and August. Doors open at 1930 (local time) for 2000 hrs start
Activities include talks, visits, activity evenings and putting on special event (demonstration) stations often using the club callsign of GX0SOA (or G0SOA).
