Hills Amateur Radio Group
Welcome to the online home of the Hills Amateur Radio Group.
We are located in the hills east of Perth in Western Australia and have members from all walks of life who share a common interest in the hobby of Amateur Radio and enjoy socialising as well as radio activities. The clubs callsign is VK6AHR.
On this site, you can find more information on our activities, photographs, or become a member.
We meet twice each month, the last Saturday of each month is a formal meeting, whilst the second Saturday is a social and activities day. Meetings are held at the Paxhill Guide Hall on the corner of Sanderson and Brady Roads in Lesmurdie. Doors open at 1pm for 2pm meetings.
We also use 145.525 MHz FM simplex for chatter.
HARG hosts a CW (morse code) tutor on 3.685 MHz. The transmitter runs 35 watts into a G5RV antenna. The tutor operates during the following times every day:
6.30am to 8.30am local time (22:00 to 00:30 UTC)
6.30pm to 8.30pm local time (10:30 to 12:30 UTC)
Signal reports to hargsec@harg.org.au are welcome.
The Hills Amateur Radio Group was founded in 1983 with its primary objective being:
"to bring together Amateur Radio Operators Citizen Band Operators wishing to upgrade to Amateur Radio Status and Shortwave Listeners in the maintenance and furtherance of the amateur radio spirit"
By and large this is still the primary objective of the club.
In practice, HARG has evolved into an organisation that provides a venue and structure for local amateurs to meet socially on a regular basis.
