Amateur Radio is a great hobby that helps to bring people together, learn about technology, make new friends, and have fun with radio.
Essex Ham is dedicated to supporting Amateur Radio. On our website, you’ll find information on what ham radio has to offer, help and advice for radio amateurs and clubs across the UK, and for those in the Essex area, a list of activities and local clubs.
If you’re new to the hobby, we can help you get started – we’ve helped over 9,200 newcomers with our free online course that runs twice a month, offering a convenient way to get your first callsign and licence. We also provide help, support and discussion groups for existing UK amateurs. We’re also one of the largest UK clubs!
What is Essex Ham?
