    Do you have an interest in electronics, radio or technology?
    Come learn and have fun!
    The Radio and Electronics Association of Southern Tasmania (REAST) will be holding a public open day on Sunday January 30th 2021 up at the top of the Queen’s Domain.
    Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet or cell phones.

    It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
    There will be lots going on in and around the REAST clubrooms and we will have lots of different activities for everyone!
    Learn how to become a radio amateur - REAST runs regular courses up on the Queens Domain.
