Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone is a member of a vintage radio club around the Melbourne area that meets semi-regularly? if so could they recommend one (if one exists) as I'd be keen to join one. Not so much a ham radio club but more like a dedicated vintage radio club with discussion of old radios, repair experiences, discuss radio models etc... it would be a great way to learn from each other as well as catch-up with new friends with similar interests etc... Just thought I would ask as I havn't really come across anything much within the area.

Not much good going to HRSA Arron they don't know anything - I've found many of my customers have said nobody will give you much help there.

Disagree Steve, the HRSA has always helped me with schematics and information when asked.
