Aberdeen Radio Club Celebrate 70th Anniversary

The Aberdeen Amateur Radio Society is celebrating collective learning, experimenting and enjoyment of Amateur Radio for 70 years. 

Founded in the aftermath of World War II, the Aberdeen Amateur Radio Society (AARS) has made contact with hundreds of groups of radio technology aficionados from across the globe.

We’ve operated out of so many places around Aberdeen that it’s hard to remember them all.
— Club president Ian Fraser GM8MHU

And despite the advent of the digital technology completely changing the face of electronic communication, the organisation's 55 members from across the north-east still meet every week in person.
