St Andrew’s Grafham “On Air”

St Andrew’s Church, Horsham Road, Grafham, Guildford, Surrey, GU5 0LJ

  • 14 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking not required

St Andrew’s Grafham will host our very own Amateur Radio group on Saturday 14 September and combine with CHOTA, Chapels & Historic Churches on the Air. Using call sign GB0HWG we hope to connect with many such groups in the UK & USA .

Grafham will be “On the Air”. In our beautiful country churchyard with views to the Surrey Hill we will host SEMARC a Surrey based club for radio amateurs, often called “radio hams”, who are interested in making electronics projects related to radio communications. Combined with an event called CHOTA (Chapels & Historic Churches on the Air), they will set up a special event station at St Andrew’s using the callsign GB0HWG.

This event began in England over 65 years ago and last year groups in the USA also participated. It is hoped that we will connect with many on the day.

Visit us and find out more about our special callsign, the many and varied activities of the club and more about our historic & beautiful Victorian country church and its architect while enjoying the delicious refreshments we will have on offer.
