Welcome to the CUWS website
Welcome to the CUWS Website. The Wireless society caters for everyone in the University interested in amateur radio, whether or not they hold a transmitting licence. The society maintains a shack, and the callsign G6UW, and also holds occasional speaker meetings of a radio related theme. We have a well equipped shack in a good location for both HF and VHF, with recent attempts to extend this to UHF. We also have two large antenna masts equipped with rotators. This equipment is all available for (licenced) members to use at any time (after being issued with a key against a small deposit). The society has held the club callsign G6UW since 1932. However the society is considerably older than this, and the society's first accounts book starts on the 20th October 1920.
