The letters MNOVFW might not mean anything to the average observer - but to
a select group of local folk, they signify something quite vital. Those
letters are the call sign for the Mid-Ulster Amateur Radio Club (MUARC),
which has just celebrated fifty years on air. Based on the Mahon Road,
Portadown, the Mid-Ulster Amateur Radio Club has grown significantly since
it was founded in 1965 - now boasting fifty members. The club has been
extremely busy over the past fifty years, too, covering everything from
motor shows and marathons to Scouts and space travellers. "The Club was
originally based in the town near Jervis Street," explained David Gregg,
assistant treasurer of the Mid-Ulster Amateur Radio Club.
