The Irving Hamfest is fast approaching! You can buy tickets on-line, and even more importantly, you can volunteer to help out. The need for hams to help with set-up and take-down is particularly significant. The DARC supports this event, and we benefit from the proceeds, so please—do your part.

Texas State Parks on the Air will be taking place this April 7th and 8th, so now’s the time to look for a state park that you can activate. You can contact the Lake Area Amateur Radio Klub for more information.

And don’t forget: the Dallas County SKYWARN training event is just one week away! Head on over to the Granville Performing Arts Center on Saturday the 17th and learn from the best. There’ll be food trucks, ham merchandise vendors, door prizes, and good fellowship, too.
