The Amateur Radio Experimenter’s Group was formed on the 27th of July 1998, with the intention of promoting experimentation through amateur radio. This year marks the groups’ 25th Anniversary year.
Throughout July and August members of AREG will put the VI25AREG call on the air.

Special achievement certificates will be available for stations who submit an ADIF log to vk5arg@areg.org.au that contains contact with VI25AREG on at least three or more different modes of operation.

A special QSL card is also being designed which will be available via Charles M0OXO’s bespoke QSL Service. You will shortly be able to log requests here:
https://www.m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsearch.php?dxcallsign=vi25areg

You will also be able to see if you have made it into the logs via Clublog – and for some operations the logs will be live uploaded to the clublog livestream service

Looking forward to seeing you all on the air! For more information keep watching our website for Anniversary activity news, including HF, VHF, UHF, High Altitude Ballooning, DSTAR, DMR, FUSION and on the Central state VHF/UHF Repeater network.

Note: Bureau QSL card requests will only be available via M0OXO if you request a card. Please use OQRS rather than sending us your QSL card

Charles M0OXO

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
