Key City Amateur Radio Club

Key City Amateur Radio Club What is Amateur Radio? Amateur Radio operators are commonly called hams.

The Key City Amateur Radio Club (KCARC) is a local amateur radio (Ham) club composed of members primarily from Callahan, Jones, Nolan, and Taylor Counties serving Abilene, Texas and the surrounding areas. Amateur Radio is a non-commercial radio communication service whose primary aims are public service, technical training and experimentation, and communication between private persons. Hams often

communicate with each other recreationally but also provide communications for others at public events or in times of emergency or disaster. FCC rules now allow persons to obtain all classes of licenses without learning Morse code! If you have had a basic Physics or Electronics class, you may already know enough theory to pass the tests. If you haven't had this kind of class, the material is extremely easy to learn on your own.

Showers and occasional storms will affect mainly Central Texas and western portions of North Texas today. The severe weather threat is low, but a few stronger storms could produce small hail, frequent lightning, and locally heavy rain.
