Field Day 2020 Changes

Posted on 26 June, 2020 by | Comments Off on Field Day 2020 Changes

In light of the massive jump in Covid-19 cases the board and field day team are changing the plan for field day operation.
We will not have stations operating from the Hurst ball fields. The RV station is cancelled.
We ask all members who have HF capabilities to operate from their QTH and we invite all members to join a club zoom session which will be up for the 24 hours field day operations are happening. The zoom session URL is: https://w5hrc.org/clublivefd2020
Per ARRL rule changes for 2020 members can submit their log entries and affiliate them with W5HRC when submitting. The ARRL will combine the entries and publish the result for the club. Heres the URL: http://www.arrl.org/temporary-rule-waivers-for-arrl-field-day-2020
Let’s all get on the air for field day starting at 1PM and operate through Sunday at 2PM .. Join Zoom for the Group Session and come and go while your operating.
Please pass this news to all other members.
Protect yourself from Covid-19 Catch you on the Air

Amateur Radio Week – June 17-23

Posted on 12 June, 2013 by | Comments Off on Amateur Radio Week – June 17-23

On June 11th, 2013, the Mayor of the City of Hurst, Richard War, declared June 17-23, 2013 as Amateur Radio Week in the City of Hurst. Members of the Hurst Amateur Radio Club Executive Board were in attendance at the City Council meeting and heard the proclamation read aloud by City Councilman David Booe.
The proclamation recognizes the role of amateur radio and amateur radio operators’ service to the community and readiness to respond during events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, disasters, and other communications emergencies.
The proclamation also acknowledges the ARRL Field Day exercise that will take place on June 22-23, 2013. This exercise is a “24-hour emergency preparedness exercise and demonstration of radio operators’ skill and readiness to provide self-supporting communications without further infrastructure being required.”
The Hurst Amateur Radio Club and Hurst RACES will be participating in the ARRL Field Day from Heritage Village Pavilion located at 837 W. Pipeline Road next to  Hurst Fire Station #2 for the entire 24 hour period and visitors are welcome.
The full text of the proclamation is available here.
