SDRS is a club for radio amateurs (aka radio hams) and all those interested in radio or radio related technology.
The society usually meets on the 2nd & 4th Mondays of the month with a break during August. Activities include talks, visits, activity evenings and putting on special event (demonstration) stations often using the club callsign of GX0SOA (or G0SOA). We also have an active and successful contest group who use the club contest callsign of M2H.

Our normal venue is the Home Guard Club, Tiddington near Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. -
Location map but events marked '#' in the programme may be held elsewhere.
Further details of the society can be obtained from the chairman or any other comittee memeber, see this page for contact details

Information sougt on the history of Stratford and District Amateur Radio Society
Andrew, M3NDZ, is carrying out research into the history of the Society, he is particularly interested in the early days, does anyone have any information about the Society prior to the late 1960's?. He has found reference to Stratford on Avon and District Radio Society in a July mid 1920's Wireless World magazine, where an exhibition of wireless equipment was being held, so we have been a Society for a long time, any help please e-mail Andrew
