Hello. I'm W7KYG. This is a place where I collect information about Amateur Radio. Below are announcements that may be of interest to amateur radio operators.

Broadcastify Feed

I am experimenting with a new Broadcastify feed. Usually you'll hear ARES, RACES and SKYWARN repeaters and commonly used simplex frequencies in the DFW area. Sometimes you'll hear activity from outside DFW such as Parks On The Air and special event station activations, or the W5DFW repeater on 29.66 MHz. See North Central Texas Amateur Radio for more information.

Social network servers for hams

A US-based Hams.Social and Europe-based Mastodon.Radio server were setup recently for Amateur radio operators who like to socialize. I have found many friendly ham operators and they've been keeping their conversations mostly focused on ham stuff. The servers are also connected to on the Fediverse along with hundreds of other servers. You can find me here on Mastodon

Tues 8:00 PM USB Net 144.19

Every Tuesday at 20:00 CST several of us meet on 144.19 MHz USB and check in using our vertically polarized antennas. Tom KG5PBP is Net Control and others assist calling for check-ins.
