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

Mark your calendars for June 26th & 27th 2021 for Field Day. AARC is making plans now. Come join us at one of our monthly meetings to learn more.

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.
