About us

We are a group of amateur radio enthusiasts operating mainly out of the Sandton area. We are affiliated to the South African Radio League.


What is amateur radio?

According to eHam.net:

If you were to ask a dozen different amateurs what ham radio meant to them chances are you would get 12 different answers. Radio amateurs have discovered a richly rewarding high-tech hobby that has many different appeals to different people. Whether it is the ability to talk to local friends over the radio waves using a hand-held transceiver (HT), communicating digitally with packet radio to exchange personal messages or vital information in an emergency, talking to other hams anywhere in the world, or engaging in contests with other Radio Amateurs over the airwaves there is something for everyone.


What do we do?

We are involved in a number of activities such as training and competing in competitions. We also maintain a repeater system linked to IRLP and provide weekly bulletins live over the radio and monthly newsletters via eMail.
