The Geelong Radio CB Club of Australia was formed when a few friends were talking about the need for a fresh approach to Citizen's Band Radio in the Geelong area. This fresh approach included having members from both sideband and UHF. The club makes available information, on air support and social activities.

The Geelong Radio "name" is not unfamiliar to the area, as the original club was formed in about 1985, but no longer exist. Today's club, despite being a new club, continues this distinctive name.

The club's format has changed in recent times with one aspect being the cancellations of yearly membership fees. In place is a small fee for those members wishing to obtain newsletters, QSL cards and being involved in BBQ's and other social events.

The change in the membership structure will mean that new members will receive at no charge:-

• Membership certificate,
• Callsign,
• Geelong Radio QSL card,
• Use of Club PO Box,
• Involvement in club activities, a small fee may apply,
• Access to ACBRO ACTION,
• Information and help from other members where relevant,
• Discounts on Electrophone RG-58 c/u and RG-213u coaxial cable.
• Discounts on CB equipment repairs,
• Information sheets and catalogues from Electrophone, Uniden, Pearce Simpson and Icom,
• Access to CB Action/Radio and Communications magazines,
• QSL cards,
• Club newsletters, and
• Additional membership material such as membership ,application forms upon request.

The club regularly meets on channels 10 UHF and 27 on LSB. Club competitions are also in the offering. It certainly sounds like a club of  "good value." The club may be contacted by writing to:
