The Northumbria Amateur Radio Club, GX4AAX, was originally formed in 1969 and welcomes enthusiasts from all over the county and beyond.
We’re located in the Old Telephone Exchange in Ellington Village, and meet every Thursday at 7pm. Our full address, with postcode for your SatNav, and Google Maps link is on our contact page.
Initially the club moved around a lot, as suitable locations were hard to find. The current building was purchased by the club, so we could create a permanent location to allow the erection of decent aerials and a ‘home’ for the Northumbria Amateur Radio Club.
There are a wide variety of interests among club members. Some like experimenting with VHF and UHF equipment, propagation and aerials. Others enjoy HF operating and home construction , Digital Radio , packet radio , FT8 and more recently LoRa .
We are the home of GB7NE DStar repeater as well. See more information about the repeater HERE
The Northumbria Amateur Radio Club, GX4AAX, also as an Exam Centre provides training and expertise for those looking to join the world of amateur radio, or those ready to upgrade their licence .
