Exeter ARS History
The club was formed on the 12th September 1920. Then known as Exeter & District Wireless Society. A number of well known amateurs of the pre-WWII period came from the society. Amongst them was
- Herbie Bartlett G5QA who became the president of the R.S.G.B. in 1955.
- Rev. A. B. Trewin G2AT the vicar of Exminster.
- F. W. Saunders G3MU.
- Sir J. Ambrose Fleming M.A., D.Sc, FRS the inventor of the Thermionic Diode which lead to the development of valve technology was the most famous member. He was granted an experimental license in 1905. In 1926 he became the president of the Exeter & District Wireless Society and was Vice-president of the wireless society of London in November 1913. He later retired to Sidmouth where he died in 1945..
- Thomas Smith a former member back in 1939 was the town RSGB representative for Exeter for many years in the 1950s
After the war in 1947 the members met and renamed the club to the Exeter Amateur Radio Society as it is known today. A more detailed history of the club is being created here.
