Welcome to
Thames Amateur Radio Group

What’s On. See Diary Page for events as far ahead as 2027; including booking for the summer Foundation Course.

If you are looking for an active, hands-on, radio club with experienced members who can demonstrate everything from Morse Code to Satellites, from Digital Radio to traditional Analogue VHF and HF – then you have come to the right place.

We provide Training, and our members benefit from online streaming of presentations and exclusive access to our online Amateur Radio to help your understanding of how it all works.

By way of example, look at what we have done in the past two years. This photo was taken at a festival where we demonstrated the hobby to the public.
