Park Cities Amateur Radio Club®

Traditionally, the hobby of amateur radio has centered both around education and public service. Accordingly, it was very important for the Park Cities Amateur Radio Club to seek charitable organization status from the United States Internal Revenue Service. We are happy to report that PCARC has been tax exempt reaching back to 24 September 2020…

Great news! PCARC obtained a club license, KI5PQW, for use at a club shack and special events like Field Day. Currently, Dawson Lightfoot (KI5KMQ) is the designated FCC license trustee. Future goals for the club license are to pick a meaningful Vanity Callsign to replace the FCC generated KI5PQW. The license became effective 29 April…

On 23 February 2021, the Park Cities Amateur Radio Clubbecame formally affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (see ARRL.org)! This is great news – both PCARC and PCARC members can make use of the many benefits of this important affiliation.

On 30 September 2020, the Park Cities Amateur Radio Club adopted a formal constitution. As with many American Radio Relay League affiliated clubs, the constitution makes clear that education and public service are central to the purpose of the club.
