WELCOME TO THE PARIS TEXAS RADIO GROUP WEB PAGE
On August 8th, 2007 several amateur radio operaters met and came up with a group charter. We don't really consider ourselves a club but more of a group. We are just a bunch of active amateur radio operators (hams) here in the Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma area with varying interests that like to have fun in this hobby. Most of us are very "laid back" and "easy going" people that just want to have fun with ham radio without the formality and complications that can sometimes come from a "club". Although all of us would gladly step up to the plate in an actual emergency, our primary goal and purpose is to just have fun with our hobby of ham radio. !! We have adopted the basis of our group on the fact that Ham radio for us is a HOBBY. We stay active in ham radio. We try to help each other and try to promote Amateur radio in the area. There are no dues, fees, politics or boring meetings to attend. We may have a get together at times, like campouts, cookouts, field days or just to eat and talk..This Group is also responsible for the Paris Texas Hamfest every October...Our group now has its own FCC issued callsign , K5PTR to use at special events. If any of this sounds interesting to you, then soon. Check this website, the online forum and the yahoo email group frequently for upcoming get togethers, and listen for announcements on the area nets. We look forward to hearing from you soon. |

What Is Ham Radio? Amateur radio is a technical as well as social and public service hobby that spans the entire world. Amateur radio (also known as HAM Radio) attracts people from all walks of life (from Kings, Senators, famous musicians, to the person next door) who are interested in all facets of radio communications. Amateur radio allows people the advancement of one's knowledge of radio theory, and electronics. The hobby can be as simple as talking on local-area repeaters with those in the same town, to building your own radio or experimenting with new forms of telecommunications. The HAM hobbyist can talk to those on the other side of the earth with nothing more than a simple High Frequency transceiver and an equally simple wire antenna. Amateur radio is used in search-and-rescue, contests, disaster aid (hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, accidents, fires), and much more. Amateur radio operators talk with other HAM radio hobbyists using all sorts of communication modes. From Morse Code and voice to Slow Scan Television and computer networking through the radio waves, These hobbyists reach out with goodwill from their homes, cars, boats and outdoors. Some also like to work on electronic circuits, building their own radios and antennas. Dedicated hobbyists have pioneered in new technology, contributing to advances in technology that has impacted the world of communications in all areas of our lives. Even ham-astronauts take radios with them on space shuttle missions, and make calls to earth-bound Amateurs. If you are not a ham and would like more information, please and some one will get in touch with you soon. |
