AARC Repeater

K5EPH 147.220 + CTCSS 136.5

Our repeater, K5EPH, now requires CTCSS tone access of 136.5. For those without tone generators in their radios, you may dial 11 to temporarily disable the tone access. This step was taken to reduce interference, not to exclude anyone! All licensed hams are welcome.

UPCOMING EVENTS

The AARC will be operating a radio station and information sessions at the upcoming East Texas Arboretum Fall Festival, October 10th from 9 am until 3 pm. The Arboretum is located at 1601 Patterson Rd. in Athens Texas. Come out and learn about becoming an Amateur Radio Operator!

Henderson County ARES

…has a web site at http://hctxares.org. Please see this new site for info relevant to radio emergency preparedness and ARES operations for our Henderson County ARES group.

We're the Henderson County Weather Spotters!

The National Weather Service contacts AARC to activate the Weather Net. The Net is conducted on the repeater, and Storm Spotters are dispatched to remote locations. Weather information is reported to the Net, and the Net Controller sends it to the National Weather Service.
