Welcome to the new site for the Arkansas Section of the American Radio Relay League.
Our Public Information Coordinator, Joshua Carroll, N5JLC has worked very hard to make this website as comprehensive and accurate as possible. We know it is not complete, and Joshua would like to know what you would like to see on the site.
I would appreciate if all ARRL members go to the ARRL site www.arrl.org to update your profile. This is the information that is available to other members, and you need to check to see what is displayed. I have heard reports of erroneous information being released, and I strongly suggest each of you make sure your information is correct. I ask that each of you in a leadership position upload a photo of yourself, even if like me, you have a face made for radio. It'll make eyeball QSO's easier!

CAREN Upgrades Phone Patch Repeater: Central Arkansas’ Only Landline Connection Resumes Operation
By Danny Straessle, KE5WLR - District A Public Information Officer
Continuing an established tradition of service to the statewide Amateur Radio community, the Central Arkansas Radio Emergency Net (CAREN Club) has recently completed upgrades to the organization’s phone patch repeater in Little Rock.
Constructed years before the advent of cellular telephones, the phone patch repeater has been in operation since the late 1960s and located high above the historic Pulaski Heights neighborhood since 1980 on an elevated storage tank owned and operated by Central Arkansas Water. Upgrades including a new antenna and controller were made while the repeater was off-air as Central Arkansas Water sandblasted & re-painted its half-million-gallon tank. The antenna mount is at an elevation of approximately 740 feet above sea level.
