Deep East Texas Amateur Radio Club - Detarc
The 22nd Annual Neches River Rendezvous is scheduled for June 1, 2019 and we need radio operators to help! If you are interested, please send a private message to this page. If you would like to volunteer, please send me the following information: 1.) Name and Call-sign 2.) Shirt size 3.) Email address 4.) Contact number (if you are willing – only to be used for last-minute changes – I won’t spam your phone!!) 5.) Do you have a preferred position? 6.) Are you willing to volunteer for additional work if the Chamber needs additional help (van driver, pull a trailer, vehicle coordinator/passenger loader, boat operator, etc.)? 7.) Do you need radio/antenna equipment? Which one or both? 8.) Do you have equipment you’re willing to loan? If so, what?Fantastic news! And Nacogdoches Amateur Radio Club has agreed to handle our communications again for this year‘s ride! We will have shortwave radios at all of our rest stops and a homebase so even in places of no cell service we will be able to communicate if there are any issues.
The next VE testing session will be Wednesday, March 20, 2019, beginning promptly at 7:00 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church School.
Examinations for all classes of Amateur Radio licenses are available under the auspices of ARRL-VEC.
