Who are we?The BRATS are a group of Amateur Radio enthusiasts based in the Medway Towns who are serious about having a good time and lots of fun. Most amateurs know of the BRATS due to the rally which we hold once a year, normally during the 1st quarter. Our rally brings together the amateur masses primarily from Kent and the bordering counties. It gives these folk a hands on opportunity to buy the new and established products on offer. It also gives us a chance to meet face to face!
What do we do?The BRATS are very active all year round, but during the summer months we like to get outside and enjoy our hobby in the field. This includes DF hunts, field events and contest work. There is normally something going on most weekends. Outdoor events normally take place in Bredhurst nr Gillingham but we also support other amateur clubs and organisations. The BRATS also enjoy lectures, quiz nights and silly nights at our Parkwood venue.
Where do we meet?The BRATS meet on a Thursday night from 8:30pm at the following location:
The Parkwood Community Centre
Long Catlis Road
Rainham
Gillingham
Kent
ME8 9PN
Refreshments are available on tap or from a bottle!
We also meet on air each Tuesday from 9:00pm on 145.400 +- QRM for our weekly net. Non BRATS members are also welcome to participate in our lively discussions.
