Club shack sets a new benchmark
The smartest club shack in Yorkshire? well, it's looking that way thanks to some fine joinery work this weekend by Jerry, M5JB, and his pal Richard.
​
They arrived 8am to find the wood had been delivered at 6.45am and left near the gate.
Jerry says: 'We got our trestles out and set up the track saw.​ Boarding out went on until 10.15 when Vickie brought us bacon sandwiches.
We then fitted the bench and put patress boxes on the wall ready for second fix and​ finished at 1.45 pm – work done.' ​
Many thanks to Jerry, Richard - and, not least, Vickie.​ More pics in News.
We operate special event stations and field days from our shack in Farnley Tyas, Huddersfield at 1,000ft asl.
Training courses to get you on the air
Amateur radio allows you to contact other amateurs around the world. If you have an interest in radio or electronics, it’s worth becoming an amateur to learn more about technology and radio.​ It's a great hobby, with equal appeal to the young and old.
​
Millions worldwide operate stations from homes, cars or ships. National, political, ethnic and gender barriers don't exist as we promote international friendship.
​
Denby Dale Amateur Radio Club has been welcoming radio amateurs for 50 years and offers training courses to get you on the air quickly.​ Here's a video from the Radio Society of Great Britain about our hobby. And here are more details about how to make the first step along the road.
From castles to canals - some of our activities
Apart from meetings in Farnley Tyas, members like to get out and about to introduce amateur radio and its benefits to people of all ages.
​
We have set up transmitting stations in all sorts of places, from a mining museum to castles, mills, lighthouses, hilltops, churches and Scout camps.
How to join our club
We're a friendly, inclusive radio club, holding regular meetings on and off the air. We used to meet in Denby Dale, but our base is now in Farnley Tyas, a small village near Huddersfield.
Meetings take place in a first-floor room at the Golden Cock pub and our shack lies a short distance away down Field Lane.​ Joining is easy: Click the button below, fill in the form and send it. Subs are £20 a year.
