FHARC members participate
in numerous activities throughout the year.
FHARC Weather Net
The Butler County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) uses FHARC as one method of communicating with spotter groups and emergency management organizations throughout Butler county. Amateur radio operators have provided invaluable service in support of storm spotting by using their unique communications capabilities to share critical weather information between the Butler County local emergency management officials and storm spotters.
Amateur Radio “Field Day” Demonstrates Science, Skill, and Service
One of the more popular on-the-air events held each year is Field Day. FHARC members join thousands others across the US and Canada as hams gather with their clubs, groups and friends to operate their radios from remote locations, oftentimes in abnormal situations and in less than optimal conditions.
Beaumont Special Event Station
This special event was added in 2019 to celebrate the rich history of a little ghost town in Butler County called Beaumont, Kansas. On October 19, 2019, we rented out Beaumont’s brand new community center and set up our antennas and radios and conducted a six hour special event using the call sign WØT.
