We are south of Austin and include, but are not limited to, the cities of Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, San Marcos, Lockhart, Luling, and Wimberley. We meet on-the-air on the club repeater: 147.050 MHz, 114.8 tone, +offset every Tuesday night at 7:30. All amateurs are encouraged to check-in.

Our club is active in ARES and has set up ham radios for emergency comms in several local EOCs.
