Amateur Radio in Stratford upon Avon and Shakespeare Country

Welcome to Stratford-upon-Avon & District Amateur Radio Society. Callsign GX0SOA

With support from Stratford Town Trust

---

SDRS is a club for radio amateurs (aka radio hams) and all those interested in radio communications or radio related technology, electronics, etc.
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).

Become a radio amateur with just a weekend or two's study (no morse required!). SDRS are not currently offering study (possibly in future) but other local clubs may be and there also online training available. RSGB training course finder
