Beaumont Amature Radio club is located in
Beaumont Texas, and draws members from surrounding counties as well as
Jefferson county. The major industry in our area is the Petrochemical
industry comprising both Major Oil and Gas Refinery's and Chemical
Plants that produce fuel and chemicals making modern life
possible. Recently we have been the unhappy host for two major
Hurricanes Rita and Ike, Both of which caused massive damage and
inconvenience. However we have over come these problems and
today enjoy fine weather and good hunting and fishing in the many
forests and wildlife refuges close by. The Beaumont club is one of four
amature clubs in the area all of which are active in local community
projects such as the Big thicket Bike Ride, the Don Allen Sports day at
wild wood north of Kountze, the spindle top spin bike ride and other
community activities. We also work with the local emergency
agencies to assist our local community during times of crisis.
