Welcome!
The Johnson County Amateur Radio Club is where amateur radio operators come together to experience, grow, serve the community, and have fun.
This was an email to the Johnson County Amateur Radio Club from Collin McCormick, the Trail Life TX-0110 Troop ministry liaison:
On behalf of everyone in our Trail Life troop, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to the Johnson County Amateur Radio Club for partnering with us during this year’s ARRL Field Day.
Thank you for the tremendous amount of planning, preparation, and coordination that went into making the event such a success. It was evident that a great deal of thought had been given to every detail, and the event was exceptionally well organized and communicated from beginning to end.
We especially appreciate the extra effort so many of your members made to help our Trailmen complete the requirements for their Communications badge. You took the time to answer questions, explain concepts, demonstrate equipment, and provide hands-on experiences that simply can’t be replicated in a classroom.
Thank you as well for your patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm while working with the boys. You made learning about amateur radio both fun and engaging, and many of our Trailmen left with a new appreciation for the hobby and the important role amateur radio operators play in serving their communities.
Your willingness to invest your time and talents in the next generation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your hospitality, your expertise, and your commitment to making the day both educational and memorable. We look forward to future opportunities to partner with the Johnson County Amateur Radio Club.
Sincerely,
Collin McCormick
Trail Life TX-0110 Troop ministry liaison
ARRL Summer Field Day!!!! What a great community event!
W5JCR’s ARRL 2026 Field Day was a remarkable success, showcasing the vibrant spirit of collaboration and community among our members. Despite the hot temperatures and gusty winds, the event drew a lively crowd, with enthusiastic participation from local kids involved in Trail Life and others from the community building Yagi antennas and then finding the fox. Throughout the night, we maintained at least one, and often two operational stations, allowing for continuous communication and interaction. This dedicated teamwork not only fostered a sense of camaraderie but also provided valuable hands-on experience in amateur radio for young participants, ensuring that the event was both educational and fun for everyone involved.
