Club Meetings

Effective with the May 18 meeting we will return to in-person meetings. Due to restrictions still in place by the City of Lewisville the meeting location is changed to Spring Creek BBQ at 571 E. Round Grove Rd. in Lewisville. Meeting time remains at 7:00 PM. It should go without saying that we should do all we can to patronize this local business for allowing us use of their facility.

Presentation: TBD

Our History

In 1982, a group of hams at TI Lewisville formed the Texans Amateur Radio Club. The club lasted until 1999, when the TI plant was closed down. At its peak, the club had about 60 members, plus a club station and a 2-meter FM repeater on 145.170 MHz. After the club shut down, the repeater was operated by a group of local hams until 2004, when it was taken out of service. It was later put back on the air in another location in Lewisville by Bob Landrum, W5FKN, and is now owned and operated by the Denton County Amateur Radio Association.
In 2015, a new group of hams from the Lewisville area formed the current Lewisville Amateur Radio Association.
