History

Leicester Radio Society has a rich and varied history spanning over 100 years. Exact information is scarce but the club was formed sometime between 1912 and 1913. This (ever evolving) section of the website attempts to categorize this history with documents acquired from various members over the years.

Hi Alex. The last Thursday drop-in are never listed in upcoming events (because they are recurring events) which is why it is mentioned underneath, this is the same as the morse class.

Your DX was good tried Kurdistan towards end of contest but all the Italian and Asiatic Russian block kept beating us to it. CQV no longer a RTTY new boy! Did a great stint.
