Where to Find W5QX Repeater and Net Information

Updated

The W5QX website (w5qx.org) has a dedicated Repeaters & Nets page listed under its "Page Links" menu, which is the starting point for repeater frequencies and net schedules. The site also offers an Email Reflector link for ongoing member communication and a contact address, [email protected], for questions the published pages don't answer. Note that the specific frequencies and net times are not reproduced in the site text available here, so you'll need to open those pages directly.

What the Site Provides

The San Angelo Amateur Radio Club (SAARC), established 1922, organizes its site around a small set of navigation links. The two relevant to on-air activity are:

Link What it covers
Repeaters & Nets Club repeater information and regular net details
Email Reflector Email-based group communication among members

A separate Club Activities Calendar and Meeting Information page cover in-person events, which are distinct from on-air nets.

If the Pages Don't Answer Your Question

Contact the club by email at [email protected]. The site explicitly invites questions and offers to assist people who want to learn more about the club.

Related In-Person Contact

If you'd rather ask in person, regular meetings are held at 7 PM Central on the second Thursday of each month (except December) at the SAARC Clubhouse, 5513 Stewart Ln, San Angelo, TX 76904, near Mathis Field / San Angelo Regional Airport. Meetings run about an hour, begin with brief club business, and are followed by a program or hands-on activity. They are open to the public.

Practical Notes

  • Start with the Repeaters & Nets page for frequencies and net times; the homepage excerpt does not list them.
  • Use the Email Reflector if you want to reach the wider membership rather than a single contact.
  • Recent announcements on the site (license testing sessions, a mesh network update, volunteer examiner recruitment) show the club posts time-sensitive notices on the homepage, so check there for schedule changes that might affect a net.
