The Isle of Wight Radio Society

The Isle of Wight Radio Society The Society, the oldest radio club on the Island, has now passed its 60th year. It was founded by Arthur Wakeley G3MAD,
later to become our President, now sadly silent key, and Eric Jolliffe G3IMX, together with several other amateurs to give encouragement to those wanting to qualify for the RAE examinations and to ensure help was available after obtaining the licence. The inaugural meeting was held on the 9th October 1959 when the constitution was drawn up.
