The Radio Society of Great Britain ( RSGB for short ; German  about "Amateur Radio Association of Great Britain" ) in Bedford is the national association of radio amateurs in Great Britain .

It was founded in 1913 as the London Wireless Club and has around 22,600 members (2009). The honorary chairman is Prince Philip . The RSGB represents the interests of British radio amateurs and is a national member of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).

The in-house magazine of the RSGB is called RadCom (see under web links ). The amateur radio magazine, which is steeped in tradition and read worldwide, appears once a month. It is dedicated to the various member activities , such as contests , campaigns such as SOTA and "DXpeditions", as well as the typical topics of amateur radio , such as transmission and reception technology, test reports and assembly instructions for antennas and so on.

The RSGB has its own publishing house and a shop (see under web links ), through which books and CDs on topics of amateur radio and related topics, such as espionage or cryptology , are available.
