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 society for radio amateurs (aka radio hams) and all those interested in hobby radio, radio communications or radio related technology, electronics, etc. to provide friendship, help/advice and practical support between members.
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).

NEWS – Our local repeater on Edge Hill, GB3EH, has changed band.
It is now on 145.6875 MHz, standard VHF -600 kHz shift and still with CTCSS tone of 67 Hz.
Early reports indicate some improved coverage and without the agricultural GPS issue.

Reports and donations to the keeper via the QRZ page: https://www.qrz.com/db/GB3EH

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
