This week we are featuring the Kenwood TS-590SG. This is a very popular radio here at Wythall Radio Club – quite a few members have one. Without exception, it is a radio that garners great comments, both on the air and for it’s ease of use. The receiver in particular is really sensitive and selective – which is why so many TS-590s have found their way into contest setups.

Reviews on the web regularly laud the TS-590SG as one of the very best bargains available in Ham Radio today. Why not make 2016 the year you grab one of these great rigs?

If you are interested in a TS-590SG (at the very best price and pickup on the day of the Wythall Hamfest of course!) just contact one of the sales guys at Martin Lynch and Sons on 0345 2300 599

Please remember to quote the code “WYTHALL HAMFEST” – to ensure you get the best “on the day deal” before the big day.

What is Amateur Radio

Amateur Radio is a world-wide technical hobby which allows people of all nationalities, religions, age groups and abilities to communicate with each other and have a lot of fun at the same time. It has a strong volunteer public service content. Go to Header Menu and read more under Amateur Radio
Training
Reluctantly, Wythall Radio Club has had to close its classroom and online training programmes after nearly 20 very successful years. There are many reasons for this and these are explained elsewhere on the website. Chris G0EYO still continues to act as Training Co-ordinator for the Club. If anyone wants advice on where to go, then please contact him via e mail g0eyo@blueyonder.co.uk. Go to Header Menu and read more under Training
Contesting

Wythall Contest Group is an informal group of Wythall Radio Club members - they organise participation in (and training for) monthly and annual contests including in-house, portable (using club equipment) and Field-Day style operations. Wythall Amateur Radio Club is affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain.
