NOTICE: The OFARC September Meeting will be on September 18th, at 9:00 am.

The next OAK FOREST AMATEUR RADIO CLUB meeting will be held on Sept 18th, 2021.  We will now meet at The Toasted Yolk (Heights location), 4601 Washington Ave, Houston, TX 77007 for breakfast at 7:45AM, followed by the meeting at the Houston TranStar Building (west entrance) starting 9:00AM.  We are limited to 29 attendees, will be required to mask up and get temperature-screened at the door.  We have been successful in holding hybrid meetings in the conference center to link up with remote Zoom participants.  A Zoom invitation will be sent out the days before in the usual way.


Announcements

  • Our face-to-face meeting was held on August, 28th at the TranStar facility as planned.  Stephen (W2WF) hosted the in-person meeting along with Zoom attendees.  Stephen captured some video of his Brazos State Park activation and shared it with us.  You can watch it at your convenience on our youTube channel here!   We hope to be posting video content of our most recent meetings there in the near future.
  • License exam testing has resumed at TranStar in conjunction with our monthly meetings starting at at 9:30am.  See the "Exam Sessions" link above for more information.
  • If you have a photo of your ham shack or favorite operating location, please send it on and I'll post them for all our members see... and comment!!  Please include your callsign in the photo.  Images submitted so far can be found here!
