The Dengie Hundred Amateur Radio Society (DHARS)

The club, based in Essex, is an amateur radio club, made up of an enthusiastic group who all have an interest in amateur radio - sometimes called ham radio. The club has been in existence for over 30 years and members have extensive experience, knowledge and interest in all things radio, electronics and computers.
The club primarily serves the Dengie peninsula part of Essex, which is formed by the River Crouch, the River Blackwater, and the North Sea. It club is particularly close to those living in the Essex villages of Althorne, Burnham, Latchingdon, Cold Norton, Purleigh, and Maldon but warmly welcomes visitors from outside the Dengie area.

 

Meetings and Location.

The club meets at its shack in Althorne every Thursday between approximately 09:00 and 12:30. and can be heard on the air most Thursday mornings during club meetings. Using the club callsign G0UTT, we are active on the HF bands, 2m 70cms and 6m and always welcome skeds from interested groups.

 

Activity

The club is extremely lucky to have the space and facilities for a permanent shack, a range of test equipment and a wide selection of aerials. Having recently remodelled the shack, plans are underway to establish an amateur satellite station with az-el steering of antennas. A return to some contest operating, the occasional field-day and some club visits are also under consideration for the coming year.
