Introduction

AHARS was formed in 1983 and is the successor to the original Blackwood Radio Club (founded 1923).

It's South Australia's largest radio club. Perhaps it's the diversity of members' ages and backgrounds that has seen the club grow steadily over the years - with good help from an experienced and active committee.

You don't have to be licensed to join us. Talks, activities and social events cover a range of topics including; electronics and use of computers.
