Trail Life Communications Award

They spent the first 10 minutes explaining what field day is and how we use our trailer and surrounding areas to operate with other ham […]

Hundreds of local storm spotters volunteer with SkyWarn to relay the most up-to-date information from the ground to the National Weather Service (NWS), of ten over their amateur radios. Here’s a look a how SkyWarn has helped save lives in Green Country for a quarter century in Green Country. Watch the Video

Oklahoma Parks On The Air (OKPOTA)
Put April 19th and 20th, 2025, on your calendar for the next Oklahoma Parks On The Air (OKPOTA) day. The POTA concept has taken the country by storm, and hams of all types are getting interested in the program.
