Our New Website
You're visiting us in the middle of a move and we're still unpacking our boxes, so once you've seen all there is to see here today, bookmark us. More content, information, and club updates are coming soon!

D-Star
We'll be providing much more D-Star information to the site, including tutorials and status updates.

Mesh-Net
Some of us have been playing with a new area in ham radio, using wireless routers with updated firmware, operating on ham bands, to have a "mesh" style network. If you're looking for something new to play with and like tinkering with computers then this may be the thing for you. Check out this website for more information. We'll be posting our own updates here in the future.

Fox Hunting
We're still looking to do some fox hunting (searching for a hidden transmitter. Anyone with a handheld transciever or even a scanner can participate. Contact John Playford if you're interested. We're hoping we'll do this once or twice a year and we'll be updating everyone here.

Officers are elected annually and serve one year terms. The Net Manager position is appointed.

Election time is approaching, so if you're interested in running for a position, now is the time to voice your interest. The upcoming elections will be a topic at our next meeting, so attendance by our members is of the utmost importance!

We'll also be discussing returning the webmaster position to a board member position that isn't so task specific.

Our Meetings

The WGARS group meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7pm at the Ryans in Carrollton.  We're looking for alternative meeting locations, so if anyone has any suggestions please pass along to any one of our officers. We've recently discussed moving the meetings to another day, even a weekend breakfast.  We'd love to hear suggestions either by email, on our weekly net, or at our meeting(s).
