Our Background |
|||
| The RNARS was formed in 1960 to promote amateur radio as an aid to technical education within the Service. In 1964 the Society was considered to be sufficiently established to invite the Captain of HMS Mercury to become its first President, a practice which continues to this day. The Society headquarters are in HMS Collingwood. | |||
