Chain Home tower at Great Baddow, Chelmsford

Chelmsford Meeting - Chain Home Radar

On Tuesday, January 4, the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society will be showing a video on the development of the Chain Home Radar network in the late 1930's.

The Chain Home system played a vital part in WWII and this is a meeting that's not to be missed.

After the break CARS President
Carl, G3PEM, will present a "Soldering Master Class".

The talk takes place on Tuesday, January 4, at the Marconi Social Club (MASC), Beehive Lane, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, CM2 9RX. The doors open at 7:10 pm and the meeting gets underway at 7:30 pm.

Admittance and car parking are free and a bar is available for refreshments.

Apartments have recently been built near the entrance. Look for the large "Salsa" advertisement which shows the turning for the car park.
