About Us

The Milton Keynes Raynet Group is part of the UK's national voluntary communications service provided for the community by Radio Amateurs.

RAYNET was formed in 1953 following the severe flooding around the east coast of Britain to provide a way of organising the valuable resource that Amateur Radio is able to provide to the community.

The Milton Keynes Raynet Group was formed in the early 1980s to provide a more local service to the rapidly growing area of Milton Keynes. Although we primarily serve the local area, we remain an active member of the Buckinghamshire County Raynet organisation with whom we meet regularly.

In common with many other RAYNET groups we undertake a number of training events, providing communications for the voluntary emergency services at horse rides and marathons, etc. We also work with local Council Emergency Planning Departments to provide them with enhanced communications facilites whenever and wherever they are required.
