Hull and District ARS Celebrates 100 Years

This year, the Hull and District Amateur Radio Society are celebrating a centenary of radio clubs in the city of Hull.

The first evidence of a radio club based in the city comes from a petition presented to the Postmaster-General by the Amateur Radio Telegraphists of Great Britain in December 1921. The documents was signed by representatives of 64 groups including the President and Honorary Secretary of the Radio Society of Hill and District.

Since 1921, there have been various radio clubs based in Hull; the current club was established in July 1952.

The club is arranging several events to recognise this occasion including

  • Visits to various interesting places

  • A major one-day event to celebrate the centenary

  • Special event station callsign for the year

  • Special QSL card

  • Participation in various contests and other events
