AREG Radio & Electronics Car Boot Sale
ADELAIDE, SA 21st NOVEMBER 10.00AM

The AREG Radio & Electronics Car Boot Sale is only a little under 4 weeks away. We still have some seller bays available as well as a healthy lineup of retailers who have in many cases been prepared to travel great distances to be with us in Adelaide for this event.

If you want to book a seller slot - please email [email protected]

We are also pleased to have the following vendors coming:

Comtek Radio (Perth, WA)
VKRadio (Melbourne)
RF Revolution (Adelaide)

We will also have the following Adelaide Amateur Radio clubs represented: SARG, NERC, EARC as well as the VK5 QSL Bureau and of course a display of some of the activities being run by the Amateur Radio Experimenters Group.

We will be running a raffle on the day. We have two prizes on offer in the paid raffle, including a 9350 Codan HF Mobile ATU supplied by HF Radio Solutions. We will also have door prizes which will be drawn throughout the day from TET-Emtron in Perth.

Refreshments & the cafeteria will be available thanks to DogsSA as well.

So put the date in yopur diaries and come on down! The event is held at the DogsSA Showground on Cromwell Road in Kilburn (inner northern suburbs of Adelaide). There is plenty of off street car parking and it is always a great day to catch up in person with your amateur radio friends! We hope to see you there!

Just a quick note to say that the AREG website is currently down while we complete some server side upgrades. We will resume normal programming shortly!

Horus 74 Flight Report

Horus 74 was launched on the 30th of August 2026, and was the long awaited re-flight of our popular cross-band amateur radio repeater!
