Wichita Amateur Radio Society was founded around 1968 to support the amateur radio community in and around Wichita Falls, Texas. The primary purpose of WARS is to provide service to the community, state, and country. The Club, in support of our community, provides communication equipment and personnel at several public events during the year. WARS operates two repeaters in Wichita Falls, both with the call N5WF.

Dinner Meeting 2012
Nov 09, 2012 - Jake, KD5JHW

It is the tradition of WARS to assemble the November member’s meeting at a restaurant in honor of Thanksgiving. This year the meeting will be held at 6:30 pm on November 15 inside Golden Coral on Kemp St. WARS members and non-members as well as non-hams are warmly invited to attend. The November meeting is always a great way to enjoy the company of other hams while enjoying good food. Don’t miss this year’s dinner meeting!

Day In The Park
Sep 24, 2012 - Jake, KD5JHW

We will be having an informal day in the park on Saturday, Sept. 29th from 9:00 am till 3:30pm weather permitting. I have reserved the Weeks Park Pavilion on Southwest Parkway for that time period, and have called for potluck snacks and for people to bring lawn chairs. It is come and go, there is no meal or schedule of events, other than the fact that we plan to set up a few radios and try to make some contacts and also have the opportunity to sit and visit. We invite any hams to come out and set up their equipment also since it is good to practice several times a year and work out any bugs in an informal setting. Anyone who listens to Ham activity on scanners, or anyone interested in becoming a Ham or just curious about Amateur Radio is welcome to come out and see what it is all about. We may even get a few non-Hams on the air!
