Radio Society

The Martlesham Radio Society was founded in the distant past of the British Post Office Research facility in the 70s. The Post Office was left behind in the early eighties and now is known as BT plc. The then Radio Society left its old call sign of G4BPO (British Post Office) and took up G4MRS in honour of the change to the Martlesham Radio Society.

About Us

The Club Station

HF operating takes place occasionally as a portable station (wires only) and the Radio Society also supports radio beacons on the Microwave bands for the UK and Europe. After 50 years at the site, the Radio Society has had to close the permanent station located at the rear of the park. Work is now taking place to bring into place a new club station in Ipswich

Microwave Roundtable

The Society supports the annual two-day Microwave Round Table, one of the UK’s premier Microwave Symposiums. In 2026, we celebrated the 47th anniversary of this event.
