We are THE FRIENDLY BUNCH at *WA5CKF*, Serving the community through our interest in Amateur Radio Since 1955.

Our membership ranks include not only experienced radio/television engineers, but also members that are just starting out in the hobby of Amateur Radio. Some of our activities include monthly meetings with interesting and timely presentations on various topics within the hobby, as well as an annual indoor Hamfest held in early March at the Betcha Bingo Hall in Irving, Texas. We also participate in events like the ARRL Field Day event in June, which provides an opportunity for radio operators around the country to set up under simulated “emergency conditions” employing off-the-grid power sources and temporary antennas.

On the fourth Saturday of the month we offer exams for all three classes of FCC Amateur Radio licenses at the Betcha Bingo #2 Hall in Irving, Texas – For more information please see the club calendar.

The “Breakfast Bunch” meets every Wednesday morning from 8am-10am at McDonalds, 2410 N Story Rd. Anyone that is interested is invited to join us for an informal gathering where fellowship is the order of the day and Amateur Radio is among the topics discussed.

Our club owns and operates three repeaters centrally located near downtown Irving on the 2 meter, 1 3/4 meter, and 70 cm bands. Our repeaters are open for use by the public, and are home to a few organized “nets” that we are proud to host.

To learn more about our club, we invite you attend one of our upcoming meetings – We typically meet on the fourth Thursday of the month, starting at 7:00pm. You can find more information about our club meetings plus other events on the club calendar.
