Northwest Amateur Radio Society

	Serving Amateur Radio and Northwest Houston since 1985

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 as well as family and friends.

Shirts and Jackets

NARS club shirts and jackets are available for order from now until May 21. To submit your order, fill out the form and email or print it and mail it to:

Jerry Whiting

The short-sleeve pocket shirts are made from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton medium weight knit fabric. The shirts have a Teflon fabric protector that resists stains and a lay down collar. They are available in tan or light blue and have your name and call on the right side and NARS logo on the left side.

The jackets are made from a water resistant 65% polyester, 35% cotton olive (dark tan) poplin fabric. There are two side pockets and one inside breast zippered pocket, with your name and call on the right side and NARS logo on the left side.

There is a new Item added to the Shirts and Jackets order form. We now have our own famous logo on an attractive baseball cap. The lettering is black and matches the lettering on the shirt.

Meeting Location

Meetings are held at the Cypress Creek Christian Community Center, 6823 Cypresswood Drive in the Annex Building, 2nd floor. Eyball QSO's start about 7:00 P.M. The meeting starts at 7:30 P.M.

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 3550 + or -. This is amateur night, so slow key, fast key, rusty key, good fist, bad fist, any fist.

Be sure to note in your log when you work NARS or TDXS members. Log contacts that do not belong to either group as OO (other operators) - they could be tie breakers. NARS members are eligible to win the camel back Christmas key. Everyone else is eligible for a certificate.

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.
