G8FC was first licenced in 1935 to the Cranwell Amateur Radio Transmitting Society (CARTS), located at Royal Air Force Cranwell. The name of the Society was changed in 1938 to the Royal Air Force Amateur Radio Society (RAFARS). In 1951 the society moved from Royal Air Force Cranwell to Royal Air Force Locking and in 1999, to Royal Air Force Cosford. The Society's Headquarters therefore has always been at No. 1 Radio School. G8FC is currently active on HF, CW and SSB and has recently ventured into SSTV and RTTY. VHF operation normally uses the callsign G8RAF. For information please see our web pages - www.rafars.org
