100 Years in 2019
Affiliated with the Wireless Institute of Australia
The Waverley Amateur Radio Society was formed in 1919 in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and is the oldest, continuously licensed, amateur radio club in Australia. We are a very active club and caters for the hobbies of amateur radio and electronics with a variety of activities.
We usually meet each Wednesday from Noon for lunch near the Duck Pond in Centennial Park for experimentation with equipment and discussion of future and current activities. However, as we are now in winter, and it’s getting cold and rainy, we might QSY to 1st floor Easts Leagues Club. Call on VK2RBV (438.1125, -5.4 MHz 91.5Hz tone) or email treasurer@vk2bv.org. The usual attendees will get an early notification of any change in venue.
Monthly meetings will be held at the
EASTS LEAGUES CLUB- 93-97 Spring St Bondi Junction
at 19:30 on the third Wednesday of each month often with an interesting lecture related to Ham Radio. Some members arrive at about 6pm for a delicious dinner.
