Amateur Radio
The UoY WS runs an amateur radio station under the callsign M0UOY. Listen out for us on the airwaves!
If you're interested in getting your own radio license, come along to one of our sessions to find out more.
LoRa Technologies
Some of our members are currently playing around with low cost LoRa mesh networking devices, such as Meshtastic. You can pick up a node for as little as £20 to join the network!
Digital Voice Modes
Some of our members frequently experiment with digital voice modes such as DMR (Digital Mobile Radio). This mode is easy to access with affordable equipment, and can enable secure, peer-to-peer communication.
