Hays Caldwell Amateur Radio
Club serves radio amateurs in Hays and Caldwell Counties. We enjoy
having fun with amateur radio, and it shows! HC ARC members enjoy a
wide variety of facets of amateur radio, including VHF and UHF FM
and repeaters, HF Single Sideband, mobile operation, RTTY, PSK31,
CW, and QRP. We are an ARRL affiliated
Club. We also communicate about our activities on our yahoo group,
hchams.
Meetings
We meet on the third Saturday of each month. Our meeting location
and time alternate between the training room at Central Texas
Medical Center in San Marcos (at 9:00 AM during even months), and
breakfast meetings at the Cracker Barrel in Buda (at 8:30 AM during
odd months).
ARES
HC ARC sponsors an ARES group;
Hays County ARES. The Hays County EC is
Jake Creamer, K5GWC. The weekly ARES net occurs on Tuesday evenings at
7:30 PM, on the 444.15 (WA5PAX) repeater (this repeater requires a
114.8 PL tone). The repeater is northwest of Wimberley (near Mount Sharp),
and has excellent coverage of our service area. Membership in HC ARC
is not required to participate in Hays County ARES.
Events
HC ARC participates in public service events, such as The American
Diabetes Association 'Tour de Cure', and amateur radio
activities, such as the Texas QSO
Party and ARRL Field Day.
