MUARC History
1965
The MUARC was founded back in 1965 in Portadown, Co. Armagh, although it was then known as the Mid-Ulster RSGB Group.
1982
In 1982 a constitution was drafted and the Club became RSGB affiliated - and it then became known by its current name.
In the same year, the Club acquired the callsign GI3VFW - which was that of Stanley Eakins SK.
The special-event callsign was GN3VFW
2005
Early 2007 saw the delivery of the first consignment of field equipment bought using our grant money.
2008
In December 2008 the club was again awarded lottery funding to purchase a display trailer to promote amateur radio to the wider community, and revived delivery of this in January, when the trailer was officially launched by the Mayor of Craigavon, in Brownlow Resource Centre, with a live link through Echolink to Harvey KB2EA in New York.
2010
In March 2010 the club welcomed the issuing of a new call sign - MN0VFW. The change had been decided by members at a previous meeting due to administrative difficulties, and that GI3VFW would be kept as our historical call sign, due to its significant and long history with the club.
