The aims of the Society are to promote and foster amateur radio activities within the Royal Air Force and through Amateur Radio, to maintain and foster the close bonds that exist between radio amateurs serving in the Royal Air Force and those who have retired from, or have close links with, the Royal Air Force.

RAFARS Anniversary Year

2013 is the 75th anniversary of RAFARS. In the Spring edition of QRV the editor, proposes not only to reflect the anniversary by publishing reminiscences of members and also to look forward to the future by including articles from and about ATC cadets, our next generation.

If you have an idea for an article please contact the editor to discuss it ASAP. Roy also needs the usual input of Articles, Rally Reports, Pictures, Feed-back on previous event/items, etc.

Whatever you send, if it is RAF/Radio/Amateur oriented, then it will be considered. If you want QRV, (an award winning amateur radio journal), then your input is vital to its continued success. Send to/Contact Roy G0TAK QTHr or email g0tak@kencomp.net

It is also proposed to members that, during the whole of 2013, when in a contact they would use the abbreviation '73', (or '72' for those of us who use low power), they instead use '75' to commemorate the anniversary. See the Newsflash for more information.
