About

Who we are.

We are a group of like minded Amateur radio operators who came together from an original group of 6 hams (WX5W, N5XO, KE5MHJ, KD5CEN, KD5ERY & N5JAZ} that enjoyed friendly conversation and shared common interest from Shooting Sports and gun collecting, Hunting, Performance Automobiles, Flying and of course Amateur Radio.

The original group came together in 2006 and slowly grew as other hams heard and enjoyed the friendly banter and joined in the discussions..

Over the years, as a UNCLUB, we have continued to evolve....

What we do.

When the Group was founded in 2006, we originally were hightly active on HF and 2 meter Simplex operation. We grew as a 2 meter FM Simplex Group through out central Texas. In late 2009, much of the Group focus shifted to what is known as VHF/UHF Weak Signal. Not to be confused with QRP. This is SSB/CW/Digital/Meteor Scatter and EME.

In 2011, this became the Groups primary focus. For the past 4 years, we have devoted ourselves to educating fellow HAMs on Weak Signal Activity, Station Building, Operating Techniques, Antenna design and more. We speak at local and regional clubs, we promote and host an Annual Lunch & Learn.

We do our best to educate & Promote VHF/UHF Operation.

Why we do it.

Simply put, we love our hobby, not only is Amateur Radio excitng and very rewarding, but some of your closets friend will come from this hobby. Within this hobby VHF/UHF Weak Signal Operating, offers some very unique challenges, excitement and opportunity for reward is amazing. Using Frequencies most consider only good for line of sight, repeater operation, etc and talking hundreds of miles, offers excitement rarely found on HF.

Bottom line, in order to maximize our enjoyment from Weak Signal Operating, it must continue to grow. What better way to grow the hobby, then to promote it and generate exitement for VHF/UHF operating. HAMsters are about promotion of this great aspect of our hobby.
