70th Anniversary of Cray Valley Radio Society

 Twitter logo crop

 

Book coverCVRS celebrated its seventieth anniversary throughout the month of October 2016, and club President Bob Treacher M0MCV has written a history of the club which is available for purchase now. View the synopsis and ordering information here.

 

 

When it was formed in 1946, membership of the club was confined to licensed radio amateurs but listeners were soon welcomed and by 1977 CVRS was a thriving club with 149 members. Many will recall the M2000A special event station to celebrate the Millennium, and our success celebrating the London Olympic and Paralympic Games with the special event callsign 2O12L. Now, membership is steady at a little over 100 members

Activities organised for October 2016 included:

  • A talk about the Society in the 1940s and 1950s
  • An Anniversary party for members past and present. Guests of Honour were Nick Henwood G3RWF, President of the Radio Society of Great Britain, and Clive Efford, the local Member of Parliament
  • A special Anniversary callsign GB70CV and activation of GX1RCV and GX3RCV
  • A ’Platinum’ award scheme for contacting members

2012L

 

Cray Valley Radio Society was responsible for all aspects of the 2O12L station which marked the 2012 London Olympics. A first-class station was assembled and operated for a total of 46 days, covering the Olympic Games and Paralympics. 69,664 QSOs were made, a world record for a Special Event Station. Our QSL Manager Frank, G4WNF has been kept busy replying to all QSL requests. See www.2o12l.com for a full account of the station, and a selection of pictures of this very special station.
