Welcome to the Risca ADARS

Please note we are closed at the moment but are planning to open in the future.

The Risca and District Amateur Radio Society, a friendly group of amateur radio enthusiasts who are on facebook and websites..

Amateur Radio helps to bring people together, learn about technology and make new friends with radio.

We are dedicated to supporting Amateur Radio and on this website you can find information on the entry level Foundation course.

Just announced (December 2022) the RSGB can arrange the Full Exam for £95. This bypasses the Foundation, Intermediate and Final exams.

 

Our membership is suspended at the moment but our website and facebook pages are free.

On our website a number of short videos of interest are available. Click on the Allenby and Lawrence picture below for more?

 

Whether you are licensed or not, we can offer a warm welcome to new and prospective members;

 Contacting people all over the world by radio, which often leads to developing international friendships.

 Communication through amateur space satellites, or with the International Space Station (which carries an amateur radio station) is possible.

 Amateurs help at time of emergencies and disasters and help other organisations with their communications.

 We help other voluntary organisations and visit Bletchley Park and other places of interest.

 We explore the history of amateur radio including famous radio amateurs such as King Hussein etc.

 

The Foundation licence is your gateway to the world of amateur radio

The course and exam that leads to the licence provides you with an exciting introduction to the hobby while requiring an acceptable minimum level of skill and experience.

We will be pleased to talk you through the benefits of membership, answer any queries and suggest the most appropriate course for you.

The Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced courses are free.

It’s a great way to meet people and make new friends!

Join the world of amateur radio and expand your horizon.

The club is affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB), a national body representing amateur radio and is a registered training and examination centre.
