Getting help – finding a local club

When you first gain your licence, you may worry about how much there is learn. This is where a mentor can make a world of difference. Why not contact your local radio club to see how they could help you?

Throughout the UK, there are several hundred radio clubs and societies. These vary from small local clubs, through repeater groups to the large contest groups.

You can search for a club in your area on our Club Finder webpage.

If you have an interest in a certain aspect of amateur radio, there is probably an affiliated society or special interest group for you to join.

All of these societies are listed in the RSGB’s Yearbook (available from the RSGB shop) or you can search for them online.

If you are still in need of technical advice either join the RSGBTech forum at https://groups.io/g/RSGBTechnical where you will find people able to help – or contact your local Regional Representative.
