The UK Microwave Group (UKuG) was founded at the inaugural meeting held on 14-Nov-1999 at Adastral Park, Martlesham, where it has since held its AGM.
The meeting approved a Constitution for the group. In early 2004 it became the
representative voice of the UK amateur radio microwave enthusiast after the Radio Society of Great Britain disbanded its own Microwave
Committee. As a result, the UKuG took over the former RSGB Microwave Newsletter and, from 1 July 2004, published it as
Scatterpoint, which was the name of Group’s own original quarterly newsletter up to 2003.

The UK Microwave Group (UKuG) continues to celebrate its growth and success
as the representative voice of amateur radio microwave enthusiasts in the UK.
The Group is affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) and,
through the Group Committee, works closely with the
RSGB Spectrum Forum.
The Group is not dedicated to any one mode or band and is
certainly interested in promoting satellite, wideband, ATV and data as
well as weak signal operation.

Our Mission is ‘To Develop Amateur Microwave Communications’.
The UKuG’s efforts are currently focussed on four main areas:-

• Helping newcomers to the microwave spectrum
• Enhancing individuals operating skills and techniques
• Developing innovative technology solutions for next generation microwave equipment
• Sharing information between our members

Our Aims – The Group aims to provide information, advice and, most of all,
support to all radio amateurs working on projects from 1GHz upwards.

Our Support –
We have established a Technical Support Team
to assist others, along with Loan Equipment, Chipbank and Project Support schemes.
