Ok everybody, this Thursday, September 4th starts our new Technician license training course. Class will start at 6pm at the clubhouse. The classes will run 2 hours a night 1 day a week for several weeks, we will cover everything needed and even get you on the air during classes.

We will be using the ARRL Technician class study manual, link below. If you don't have if for the 1st class, that's ok. We'll have 1 or 2 extras that can be borrowed.

Spread the word to anyone you know that want to become a ham operator. See you there. 🤠

Field Day 2025:

Field Day 2025 is this weekend June 28-29 from noon local time Saturday to noon Sunday.
We were going to eat up this year in Cloudcroft NM but with the fires and the fire warnings in the area we decided to go ahead and just set up at our Clubhouse in Northeast El Paso. We will be arriving at the clubhouse to set up around 8am Saturday morning and will be ready to go on the air by noon.
We are planning on running 3E which means 3 stations running on emergency power. We will have 1 radio running voice "phone", 1 radio running CW (Morse code) and 1 radio running digital, (all flavors FT8, FT4, PSK Etc ).

We welcome hams and non hams to come visit, see what FD is all about and maybe even get on the air.

Feel free to comment and ask questions.

See y'all there 🤠
