DARTMOOR Radio Club will be holding its 28th Spring Bank Holiday Rally on Monday in Tavistock College. Entrance is £2 (free for youngsters) and opens at 10.30am. People with disabilities can come in at 10.15am.

There is a huge diversity of activities in amateur radio and the rally offers visitors a range of electronic, computing and technical equipment for purchase. There will be displays from repeater groups in Mid Cornwall, West Devon, Hingston Down and Caradon. Repeaters are used by amateurs using VHF and UHF frequencies, much in the same way as we rely on mobile phone masts. The national co-ordinator for amateurs, the Radio Society of Great Britain will be represented.

Dartmoor Radio Club meets on the first Thursday of the month at Yelverton Memorial Hall, Yelverton at 7.30pm. It also holds regular transmission days throughout the year at Lamerton Village Hall in the winter and on Cox Tor in the summer. Visitors are welcome to meetings.
