Spreading Ham Radio into Cooper Elementary School One of the goals of the ARRL is education regarding amateur radio, with the intent of bringing new licensees into the fold. As a special service club, the Tulsa Amateur Radio Club strives to do the same in many ways. One obvious way is through licensing classes, but there are other ways we can reach out to non-hams as well, such as holding events in public, or giving presentations to other community organizations. |

The Tulsa Amateur Radio Club and Eastern Oklahoma / Northwestern Arkansas Skywarn As you may or may not know, the TARC is involved with the Skywarn network of community service oriented clubs. The W5IAS linked repeater system is the largest, the best and most efficient repeater system in the State of Oklahoma. When emergencies arise in our areas of coverage, the W5IAS linked repeater system serves both as a communications system and a community service. Covering some 50,000 square miles from I-35 to deep into Arkansas and from Texas in the South to Kansas in the North. During times of disasters and other emergencies the W5IAS repeater system will be used for relaying information from one area to another. Several times in the past this impressive system has played major roles in the safety of our communities. Everything from severe weather to the phone outage of the year 2000, which was covered by the TARC and the link system was used to cover the area hospitals. Thirty minutes after the phones went down the TARC was there with a net organized, hours before the EOC and others in the area even knew the phones were out. The TARC is very proud of this system and is always ready to help out in those times of trouble when we are needed the most. The W5IAS linked repeater system is still growing more impressive by the day and is always ready to leap into action.
