Benefits of SGARS Membership

Joining SGARS connects you with one of Sydney’s most active and welcoming amateur radio communities. Members enjoy regular monthly meetings with guest speakers, technical presentations, social events, and opportunities to share knowledge with fellow radio enthusiasts.

Whether you are new to amateur radio or an experienced operator, SGARS offers education and ACMA-accredited licence assessments, practical technical support, and a strong welfare network to assist members when needed. Above all, SGARS provides a friendly environment where skills are developed, experiences are shared, and lasting friendships are made.
