Amateur Radio Societies affiliated to the RSGB (and we are one such) can now set up and maintain free websites under the RSGB banner. The service was made available on 25th August 2006 and of course we are already prominently displayed there. See our brief description (and its link to this site) at: www.radioclubs.net The most recent RSGB monthly newsletter for Affiliated Clubs and Societies is available from our E-Library.
The Society's E-Library
has now been added to by PDF format copies of its actual
published 'Programme of Events' from inception
(1958) to the present day.
The full set (covering a total of 50 years) offers an insight
into not only MMARS but Amateur Radio in general - we can see
by reading them, for example the advent of SSB, the modern
state-of-the-art circuitry, and through to digi-comms and the
integration of computers into the hobby, amateur communication
via the Internet (EchoLink, VOIP and IRLP) and indeed the
progress from "gestetner" produced sheets
through to modern desktop publishing!
Members and others alike may care to collect the total
complement and use them freely, provided due acknowledgment of
origin is given.
Also included in the library is the list of all MMARS SILENT
KEYS since the Society was formed.
