The West Texas Section Team

I got my license in my mid-50’s and became interested in the emergency communications aspect of the hobby. The local Permian Basin Ares Net gave me a start, followed by involvement in the Maritime Mobile Service Net. MMSN led to Winlink, the Hurrican Watch Net, SYWARN, RACES, repeaters, Echolink, Allstar, D-Star and onward The adventure never ends. You will always be able to learn something new in Amateur Radio.
