The experimental station 5XU was established on the University of Texas campus on October 1, 1921. Since then, our main goal is further the enjoyment of Amateur Radio (or Ham Radio) by providing aid in obtaining a Ham Radio license, by providing a working HF and VHF radio station and through contact with other operators and radio enthusiasts. We participate in Ham Radio activities at national and international level and interact with clubs and other organizations in the Austin area.
Everyone affiliated to UT is welcome to join us at our meetings, and we will be happy to add you as a member to the club. We don’t charge any dues or fees, so anyone can enjoy the broad spectrum of Ham radio activities for free with us!
We’d like to invite all interested licensed radio amateurs to a new casual weekly net organized by the UT Amateur Radio Club. The net will take place on Wednesdays at 8 PM central time, on the University-Link repeater system, starting on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. This will be a casual roundtable-type net, so I expect that discussions will be mostly about school, radio, summer activities, plans for next semester, etc.
If you are in or around campus, the repeater to use is 441.325+ (tone 97.4). If you’re in North Austin, try one of the other repeaters. Note that the 444.85 repeater is currently offline.
If you can’t hit any of the repeaters, try the EchoLink node KA5D-R. If you need help getting set up with a HT or with EchoLink, or need an HT, feel free to reach out!
If you don’t have your license yet, we can fix that 🙂 and until then, we can arrange something.
Thanks to Kyle KA5D and the other operators of the KA5D system for making this system available to us, and to Gil KI5BPK and the WCARC New Hams Net for help and resources regarding nets!
