Welcome to the Homepage of
South Sussex Raynet Group

South Sussex Raynet is one of the groups of RAYNET, The Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network, serving Sussex. RAYNET is the UK's national voluntary communications service provided for the community by licensed radio amateurs.

Formed in 1953 after the severe East coast flood disaster, RAYNET provides a way of organising the resources of Amateur Radio in order to provide communications services to the community. Today, it has grown into a very active organisation with around 2000 members nationwide, providing radio communications assistance for many hundreds of events each year and other emergency situations, under the auspices of both statutory and volunteer emergency service organisations. For more information on RAYNET, visit The Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network website.

South Sussex Raynet operates in an area which is roughly (but not exclusively) bounded the Arun and Ouse river valleys and the Sussex-Surrey border. Each year, we provide communications assistance for a number of events including the Shoreham Airshow in September, and other events with the British Red Cross and the British Heart Foundation. On some occasions, we work in conjunction with other groups in Sussex in order to cover particular events.

We hold a Group Meeting on the first Thursday of the month, and a radio Call-in on 2 metres FM (144.625MHz) at 20:45 local time every Monday. For further information, please see the Info page.
