See below to find out what we're up to! Events are added to the calendar once we have confirmed them. We also let people know via the Discord server.
12/11/2025 - UoSARC's first event saw about 15 people come down to listen to Leon M0VUF and Katelyn M7KFH give a more thorough introduction to amateur radio, and give an opportunity for people to answer questions they had about what amateur radio involved.
28/11/2025 - UoSARC had its first hands on meeting, with people getting to have a go at tuning a VHF antenna for resonance, and exploring how an ATU can compensate for a poor SWR. We also used some SDRs to show how the radio spectrum is allocated and what different kinds of signals look like on the spectrum
11/12/2025 - Members had a go at assembling a base station, learning about the different types of cables, connectors and equipment that go into a radio station. We also did a short talk covering the basics of operating HF radios.
18/02/2025 - UoSARC members took to the challenge of creating silly antennas out of any random object they could! We had loads of great ideas from jam jars to teapots to teddy bears, all managed to be turned into the most ridiculous antennas out there!
