Coppell Amateur Radio Enthusiasts

Our organizational plans are to:

Provide education and training to new and current amateur radio operators. Our tentative educational offerings will cover topics including earning your Technician amateur radio license, hands-on assistance with programming handheld amateur radios, and discussion on using internet technologies like EchoLink and AllStar Link to communicate globally.

Build the capacity of amateur radio operators so they can operate at their best in times of need. Options including the ARRL’s National Traffic System and software like Winlink Express enable amateur radio operators to move messages quickly and efficiently during times of need, and we plan to include such topics when providing education and training to area operators.

Aid local governments and charitable organizations. Local events such as the Celebrate Coppell Parade Down Parkway and the Coppell 5k Run benefitting Coppell Special Olympics may benefit from communications provided by amateur radio operators, and we will be reaching out to area organizations to determine where and how we can assist.

Work to ensure amateur radio operators participate in ways that upload the amateur radio community’s well-known courteous, helpful, and supportive nature. Members looking to participate in area events are required to adhere to a Membership Code of Conduct and promote the positive reputation amateur radio holds within our communities.
