Who We Are
Portable Radio in Staffordshire and Beyond
The Staffordshire Portable Amateur Radio Club (SPARC) promotes portable and outdoor amateur radio operation throughout Staffordshire and beyond.
Our members regularly operate from hills, farms, campsites, and other portable locations using HF and VHF equipment.
Whether activating summits, experimenting with antennas, or simply enjoying radio outdoors, SPARC is about learning, operating, and having fun together.
