About
Us
The Northwest Amateur
Radio Society was established in 1985 and serves the suburban FM 1960
area in
northwest Houston. NARS is active in community and public service
events.
Club members are
interested
in QRP, DXing, contesting, homebrew, ragchewing, VE sessions, and
getting together for our favorite activity, eating. We welcome all hams

NARS
Straight Key Night
Straight key night,
Houston style is off and running again. Mark
your calendars for the first Tuesday of each month from 7 PM to
8:30 PM. The frequency is 3540~3550 + or -. This is amateur night, so
slow key, fast key, rusty key, good fist, bad fist, any
fist.
Keep track of the number
of events worked - these will be added to your score. For example, if
you had 10 TDXS contacts, 15 NARS
contacts, and 5 OO contacts, and worked 10 events, your score
would be 20 for TDXS, 25 for NARS, and 15 for OO. Keep the logs
until after the December 2007 event, then submit them to Cal
White, WF5W.
ARRL Field DayField day is almost here! We have arranged to be able to stay overnight at Burroughs Park
in NW Harris county. There are still operating slots open, particularly
for CW. Even if you don't operate, come on out and visit. Who knows,
somebody may shove a microphone in your hand or get you to log for a
while so they can take a break. A printable map is in the May NARS newsletter. - Coordinator - Ken Wison
- SSB station - Marty Fitzgerald
- CW station - Colin Jenkins
- GOTA station - Peter Brown
Please note - no camping or trailers. One of the conditions of being granted overnight privileges.
