Maidstone YMCA Amateur Radio Society has been established since 1937, and almost simultaneously has been affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain. The 'club' as it is known locally is based at the YMCA outstation facility in Tovil, Maidstone.
The club endeavours to cater for both its long-standing membership, and also new members that come along. MYARS offers training for the Foundation Licence scheme, and the club's QTH is an RSGB recognised examination facility. Course materials can be purchased from the Society, and people wanting to join the training course need only become a member. Our members all have a wide range of interests, across all parts of the radio spectrum, from HF to Microwave. All are enthusiastic about their area of expertise and more than willing to share it! Our doors are open from 1930h on a Friday evening, at the club QTH which is the YMCA Outstation, ME15 6FG. Address can be found on the Contact Us page, though for a bit of help if you're not familiar with the area, the 'How to Find Us' page will lend a hand. We invite all to come along to our meetings; long licensed, newly licensed, or the aspiring licensee; scanner enthusiasts, or Short Wave Listeners; members long since lapsed, or someone looking for a new 'home'. |
