Hello Fellow Radio Operator:
Throughout amateur radio history, there has always been a tradition of radio operators and clubs to share their knowledge with others. This may be accomplish through direct communications while on the air with others or through magazines and news letters. The Tyler Amateur Radio Club (Tyler ARC) in Tyler, TX is reaching out to other clubs around the Lone Star State and other states to continue this long standing tradition shared by amateur radio operators.
As an outreach effort to other amateur radios clubs and their members, Tyler ARC is sending a courtesy copy of its newsletter “The GroundWire” to radio clubs for distribution to their respective members. The following link is to the newsletter in PDF format than can be downloaded. The GroundWire Link
You are invited to share articles on amateur radio projects or research you might have completed. Those articles can be published in The GroundWire if the article is the author’s original content and/or does not violate copyrights or is adequately cited from other publications. If you have product reviews of amateur equipment, those article will be welcomed as well.

The fast-approaching QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo March 13-14, 2021 will be even better with over 80 speakers, live kit building workshops, panel discussions, and much more. Early Bird discount tickets are still available and include entry for the Live 2 day period plus the 30-day on-demand period. Registration can be found at www.qsotodayhamexpo.com.
We are excited to share that the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio® in the United States, will have a significant Expo presence. ARRL CEO David Minster, NA2AA, will deliver the Keynote on Saturday, March 13, from 12-1 PT. Although only in his position since September 2020, David already has started to make a significant impact to ensure ARRL’s continuing legacy of serving radio amateurs.
David has already launched major projects and assembled teams to foster innovation and individual skill development in radio technology and communications that benefit all amateur radio operators. In his Keynote, David will share his enthusiasm for advancing amateur radio and highlight current ARRL initiatives to engage and inspire this current generation of hams. See more at https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/speakers.html.
In addition, the ARRL Expo booth will feature “Ask the ARRL Lab.” Engineers for the ARRL’s Lab will help answer any questions LIVE. Attendees can come into the booth lounge (featuring the Expo’s latest virtual meet-up and video technology), sit down at a virtual table, and ask members of the ARRL Lab for tips about a project they’re working on or suggestions to overcome a problem with a station installation, antenna, or a piece of gear. Attendees can also learn about equipment testing conducted by the Lab on new radios for ARRL Product Reviews.
You can participate from the convenience of your home without spending a dime on travel! So if you’ve never been to an in-person Hamfest, you can participate in the Expo and get the same benefits. The platform simulates a full convention experience.
ARRL is a QSO Today Expo Partner. FlexRadio is the Expo’s Platinum Sponsor and Gold sponsors are Elecraft, RFinder, Quicksilver Radio, Mouser Electronics, and Connect Systems.
