Introduction
The Club was founded in 1948 by a group of Amateurs living in the Moorabbin area. They held weekly meetings in a radio shop owned by Col Gibson, VK3FO, in Centre Road Bentleigh.
In 2018 we celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the Club. Compiling the history of the Club is an ongoing project and we invite all members past and present to contribute their recollections and anecdotes. Please contact the Secretary if you wish to contribute.
We hold our Hamfest in May each year. This is a major event in the Amateur calendar and continues to be the largest Hamfest in Victoria. Check the Club website www.mdrc.org.au for more details.
