Newbury Radio Rally
The Newbury Radio Rally has been taking place every year since 1987.
It is organised and run by the Newbury And District Amateur Radio Society (NADARS) and attracts visitors from all over the country. This highly popular event provides the ideal venue for anyone interested in radio, electronics or computing. Themed around a ‘boot sale’ it offers the opportunity to buy and sell everything from the smallest components used for making equipment or projects, through to complete communication systems. Whether you want the very latest full featured transceiver from the world’s biggest manufacturers, or simply something second-hand at incredibly attractive prices, there are more than 100 stalls waiting to help you.
But buying or selling is not the only thing on offer, as there are other attractions too!
Each year NADARS provides its ‘Demonstration Marquee’ where you will see live amateur radio stations in contact with amateurs all over the world using voice, Morse code and data communications.
Also, there have been a number of national societies who have previously displayed (hopefully returning this year) including:
- British Amateur Television Club (BATC)
- British Young Ladies Amateur Radio Association (BYLARA)
- Castles and Stately Homes on the Air (CASHOTA)
- Chiltern DX Club (CDXC)
- Radio Amateurs Emergency Network (RAYNET)
- Radio Officers Association (ROARS)
- Radio Society of Great Britain (Region 9)
- Royal Air Force Amateur Radio Society (RAFARS)
- Royal Naval Amateur Radio Society (RNARS)
- Royal Signals Amateur Radio Society (RSARS)
- UK Six Metre Group (UKSMG)
- Worked All Britain Awards Group (WAB)
- And other organisations and clubs all displaying their special interests
The Newbury Radio Rally really is ‘the one not to be missed’ and ensures a great day out for everyone.
