Welcome
We are the Worthing and District Amateur Radio club based in the town of Worthing which is in the county of West Sussex on the south coast of England. We normally meet every Tuesday evening at 19:00 hours at T.S. Vanguard, the headquarters of Worthing Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets in Broadwater Road, Worthing.
The Club first started in 1948 and has been active ever since.
We provide training at all levels of the UK Amateur licence which is free to club members and is available on most Tuesday evenings.
We have a well equipped radio station that is available for use on Tuesday evenings where modern equipment can be tried. Members can also loan kit to help decide what their requirements are before committing to buying expensive gear. We have a go-bag kit available for Parks On The Air or Summits On The Air activations, this is where a radio station is set up outdoors to contact other countries without using the internet, great way of enjoying the hobby while getting fresh air and exercise.
