UK MICROWAVE GROUP

 

The Group was formed in the Autumn of 1999. In early 2004 it became the representative voice of the UK amateur radio microwave enthusiast after the Radio Society of Great Britain disbanded its own Microwave Committee. As a result, the UK Microwave Group took over the former RSGB Microwave Newsletter and now publishes it as Scatterpoint, which was the Group’s own quarterly newsletter up to 2003.

The Group is affiliated to the RSGB and, through the Group Committee, works with the RSGB Spectrum Forum in matters of interest to the amateur microwaver.

Membership of the UK Microwave Group is open to all interested in amateur microwaves whether they are resident in the UK or not.

Membership benefits include the Group’s newsletter, Scatterpoint, which is published ten times a year, discount on Group products, representation via the Group committee on the RSGB Spectrum Forum, fully voting rights at Group meetings, UKuG-organised microwave events in the UK such as contests and “microwave roundtable meetings”, operating awards and trophies. The Group’s Annual General Meeting is held at Martlesham, Suffolk.

Membership enquiries and applications should be sent to the Group Secretary.

A membership form is available at www.microwavers.org/ukugmemb.htm
