The Camb-Hams are the “social side” of the CRG. First formed in 2008, when a group of local repeater users decided to put faces to the callsigns at a local pub, the Camb-Hams have since developed into a wide-ranging group, taking part in contests, putting on special event stations, going on DXpeditions, and working with the RSGB to bring some of their events to a wider audience.

We meet informally on the first Wednesday of every month at a local pub, from around 6pm - all are welcome to join us for something to eat and drink, as well as friendly chat, planning, and sharing of the latest acquisitions.

Following the closure of the White Horse in Milton, in September 2026 we will be meeting at the Plough & Fleece, Horningsea.

Online, we use a mailing list over at Groups.io and a Telegram group - reach out to one of us if you’d like to join either of these.

Other regular events through the year include:

• HF and VHF Field Days from the top of a local hill
• Operating the special event station GB2NHF at the National Hamfest
• Providing live streaming (alongside NARC) and recording of the RSGB Convention, as well as providing the special event station GB3HQ
• Team entries in the RSGB AFS Super League contest series
• Regular entries in the RSGB 80m Club Championship evening contests
• Trips to Ham Radio Friedricshfen in Germany and the Dutch Ham Radio Day at Rosmalen

We’ve also been active from the Scottish Isles as GS3PYE; more details on our dedicated site dx.camb-hams.com.
