ARRL Field Day theme this year is Amateur Radio: A National Resource - highlighting the many ways wireless technology connects people near and far. The event is part picnic, campout, emergency comms practice, contest and FUN! Our goal is to contact all 50 states as well as places beyond.

Fannin County Amateur Radio Club is affiliated with American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the National Association for Amateur Radio in the US. We meet the third Saturday each month at 9 and welcome visitors. We can be seen demonstrating operations at places like Bonham State Park, Sam Rayburn House, Heritage Day or simply radio in the park as we practice remotely. We provide communication in emergencies when regular communication is not available. Follow us on Facebook or our website www.k5frc.org.
