W5ECO - Houston ECHO Society - Meetings

Because amateur radio is such a broad hobby you will find ECHO members involved with just about every aspect of it. Besides repeaters ECHO participates in various contests such as the ARRL field day and provides communications for the Tour DuRouge bike ride. Members participate in many other area public service events. As for personal hobbies, members are involved in everything from kit building to WSPR to FT8 to raspberry PI to helping (elmering) newcomers. Everyone is welcome to attend the club meetings and are encouraged to join in on the fun.

• Next club meeting -- Monday, August 10 at the American Red Cross at 7 p.m., with pre-meeting dinner at 5 p.m. at Goode Company Taqueria, Westpark at Kirby. The meeting presentation will be by Ralph Phillips, KE5HDF on Jamboree on the AIR. The Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) is an annual Scouting event that connects Scouts worldwide through amateur radio and the internet, creating a global “Jamboree” experience. Zoom link will be emailed with the meeting notice.
