History
The Victoria Short Wave Club was established in 1929 by Samuel John Lawrence. The club was created with the purpose of bringing together those with an interest in amateur radio to develop individual efficiency and to further the interest of radio in the general community. The club originally met in the rooms of the Victoria Radio Club and had planned to be affiliated with them but decided to strike out on their own. They met regularly in the homes of members until 1938 when they built a clubhouse at 2500 Foul Bay Road. This site remained headquarters until 1963. The club publishes the newsletter "Zero Beat".
