GB0SPN Mills on the Air
Saturday 7 May 2022
Otley Amateur Radio Society Radio Event – Woodbine Farm, Speeton.
The National Mills Weekend is organized by Denby Dale Amateur Radio Society and takes place across the UK every May. More than 300 windmills and watermills would be usually open to the public to celebrate our milling heritage.
The S.P.A.B. Mills section (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) run this event every year on or around the second weekend in May, and Denby Dale Radio Society have co-ordinated the Radio side of this event for 26 years.
This event is not a contest, just a chance to have good time and promote Amateur Radio and discover the history of mills.
Please do not travel to site to visit unless you have pre booked with Otley Amateur Radio Society.

Used equipment Sale – Tuesday 3rd August 2021.
Otley Amateur Radio Society held an equipment sale on Tuesday 3 August 2021 at Clifton Village hall. The club had accumulated an assortment of old radio equipment, valves and receivers and decided to hold a sale to make space in the shack. Generous as ever, some members offered to donate equipment towards club funds, and also took the opportunity to sell their unused radios. With great support from fellow members who helped to organise the night, a £1 entry fee with a free raffle ticket raised £63 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. With the backing of ICOM who kindly donated the raffle prizes and local trader Mirfield Electronics getting involved, it turned out to be a very successful evening.
Club update 26th July 2021.
We are pleased to announce the reopening of Clifton Village Hall on Tuesday club nights to our Members and Visitors. Why not call in between 7.30pm to 9.30pm to put a face to that callsign!
Toilet and kitchen facilities will continue to be available at the hall.
