Welcome to the Southport & District Amateur Radio Club

The Southport & District Amateur Radio Club is located in North West of England and draws its membership mainly from Sefton and West Lancashire, though we do welcome members from further afield.

We have a very active membership and have a calendar full of different activities - there's something to suit everyone.

Please feel free to browse our web site and we look forward to seeing you at one of our regular monthly meetings.

Special Event Stations

A special event station is established to celebrate a local, or national, event and gives the public the opportunity to see what Amateur Radio is all about.

The Southport & District Amateur Radio Club will run several special event stations during the year. Some are regular events, others one-offs.

Why not pop down and visit our next special event station and find out more about Amateur Radio for yourself.

Amateur Radio Courses

Amateur Radio is a technical hobby and to obtain a licence you have to appreciate what radio interference is, how it is caused and how to avoid/cure it.

The Southport & District Amateur Radio Club runs entry-level Foundation and Intermediate Courses throughout the year.

We have many years experience and demonstrated consistently high pass rates over that time.

Contests & Fund Raising

During the year, members of the Southport & District Amateur Radio Club take part in a number of contests and fund-raising events that test the performance of equipment and the skills of the operator.

Contests are great fun, help build good strong friendships and are a good way to get familiar with your station and operating procedures.

Enquire now how you get involved with contesting and fund-raising events.
