06-12-2026 - 5:00 AM - Good Morning! It’s Friday, and the North Central Texas Simplex Net will start at 8:00 PM on 146.580 MHz FM. As always, you’ll need a good outside antenna to hear them from Wichita Falls. We got a pretty good rain last night, and more is possible today. Local Amateur (ham) Radio Operators meet informally for breakfast at the Pioneer #3 restaurant at Old Iowa Park Road and Sheppard Access Road. Look for vehicles with extra antennas and/or handheld radios on tables. My Folgers Black Silk coffee is ready.
