Welcome to Great Yarmouth Radio Club, G3YRC — a friendly meeting place for everyone who enjoys radio, electronics, experimentation and the thrill of making contact.
From 1925 to tomorrow
Our story dates back to 1925. Generations of local operators and experimenters have shared skills, built equipment, explored the airwaves and helped amateur radio grow. We honour the founding members and all those who followed them by preserving their knowledge, celebrating their achievements and passing that pioneering spirit to the next generation.
That proud history is only the beginning. Today we are active across the bands and modes — from HF, 2 metres and 70 centimetres to modern digital modes that let low-power stations reach around the world. We are excited by the future of communications and by the new ideas, technologies and friendships still waiting to be discovered.
A club for every kind of radio enthusiast
You do not need to be an experienced licensed operator to receive a warm welcome. Our doors are open to:
- short-wave listeners discovering voices and signals from around the world;
- CB radio enthusiasts who enjoy local conversation and practical radio;
- licensed amateur radio operators of every class and experience level;
- makers, electronics enthusiasts and digital-mode experimenters;
- complete beginners who are simply curious about how radio works.
Bring your questions, your latest project or just your curiosity. Club nights are relaxed, practical and social: a place to learn from one another, try something new and enjoy radio in good company.
Come and meet us
We meet on the second and fourth Friday of each month at The Old School Village Centre, 2 Green Lane, Bradwell, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk NR31 8QH. The what3words location is ///sofas.computer.shipped.
