HRSA Membership
Benefits of Membership
Members of the HRSA receive a copy of the quarterly journal, 'Radio Waves' containing articles of historical, collecting and technical interest related to older radios. Many branches conduct auctions of radio equipment where, for legal reasons, only members may buy or sell. The HRSA also runs a comprehensive circuit library and valve bank for its members. In addition there is the opportunity to discuss radio matters with fellow enthusiasts at meetings.
Subscriptions
From October 2008 the annual membership fees are $A35 for Australian residents and $A49 for overseas applicants. The membership year runs from 1st July.
