The Essex Ham website launched in 2011, and was created by Pete M0PSX
The site was originally launched as a service to help new M6 Foundation licence holders to get on-air, but thanks to the input from many Essex-based amateurs, has been expanded to help promote the amateur radio hobby, as well as to be a place to gather and share information.
The site has three main aims:
- To explain what the hobby is all about, hopefully to encourage people to take part
- To offer help and advice to newly-licensed amateur radio operators in Essex
- To share information about events related to amateur radio in Essex.
What Essex Ham offers:
The site is continuing to evolve, based on suggestions from our regular visitors and contributors. Here’s a summary of what we do:
- Monday Night Net: A regular get-together of amateurs, normally on the GB3DA repeater in Danbury, Chelmsford
- Essex Ham Forum: The place to discuss amateur radio in Essex
- Essex Ham Newsletter: A short PDF document listing local events and information
- Local Events Listings: What’s happening in the area… A calendar orf club nights & field events
- Essex Ham Podcast: Video and audio reports from events in and around Essex
- Getting started: Information on how to get into the hobby and get a licence
- Help and advice: Pages of information on various aspects of the hobby
