Exploring new amateur radio communication opportunities for North Hampshire.
NHARC is exploring the development of a community amateur radio repeater system in the Sherborne St John area.
The project is currently at the planning stage. No repeater is licensed or operating as part of this project.
We are considering repeater options for the amateur 2-metre and 70-centimetre bands.
Frequencies, equipment, coverage and licensing requirements will need to be assessed before any installation.
AllStarLink allows compatible amateur radio systems to connect through an internet-linked voice network.
We are exploring whether this technology could help connect local operators with the wider amateur radio community.
We are interested in developing practical radio skills and exploring how amateur radio can support community resilience.
Any future emergency communications activity would require appropriate planning, training and coordination.
We welcome interest from radio amateurs with experience in repeaters, antennas, networking, electronics and digital communications.
To get involved, contact members@nharc.org.uk.

We plan to organise regular amateur radio nets where members can practise operating, exchange information and enjoy conversations on the air.
Net schedules and frequencies will be announced once confirmed.
We hope to organise outdoor radio activities, including portable stations, antenna experiments and operating from different locations.
These activities will offer opportunities to learn and operate together.
Explore digital amateur radio modes such as FT8, APRS and other technologies used by radio enthusiasts.
We aim to encourage practical learning and experimentation with digital communications.
We plan to explore antenna construction, radio equipment, electronics and computer-based amateur radio projects.

Whether you are newly licensed, an experienced operator or simply interested in amateur radio, we welcome your involvement.
Contact members@nharc.org.uk to find out more about our plans.
