Greetings N5XU,
Wow, it is SPRING 2025 and the UT Amateur Radio Club remains alive and well, although this website has received VERY little attention over the past year.
Our primary communications channel has moved to Discord, so for club information, consider accessing the club site on Discord (N5XU – UT Austin Amateur Radio Club)
Our meetings this semester are alternate Wednesdays at 7:00 PM in ETC – check the Discord channel for details.
We had some kind donations from Rick (AI5A) and Matthew (KN4LRA) who kindly donated a Kenwood TK-941 900 MHz band radio and a Baofeng UV5R loaded up with accessories. Many thanks to these folks for their donations!
If you are reading this and would like to donate items to UTARC, please join our mailing list and feel free to reach out to our officers.
A few UTARC members drove up to the Spring 2023 Belton Hamfest. While there, we met up with a few wonderful people from the Texas A&M ARC (W5AC) at the hamfest and later joined them in activating Mother Neff State park for TSPOTA.
Attached below are some photos I took, but you can find more on the W5AC instagram page.
Hello everyone, this is just a short post made in addition to Bob Ascott’s post of a similar nature.
I just wanted to say that the year following Sameer’s departure has been rough for N5XU as the people in charge of running the club started to get busy in the midst of taking over control of this organization. It’s going to take a while, but I feel as if everyone regularly involved with the club is excited to get things back up and running, recruit new members, and to create a solid foundation so that future generations of longhorns can continue the UT Amateur Radio Club’s legacy.
I will personally try to update this website more often for the documentation of club activities and technical pursuits.

The new officers for the 2023-2024 school year are as follows:
Thank you very much to Sameer Bibikar for his help throughout this change in leadership and to our wonderful elmers for the help with club history, maintenance, and general advice. 73s to all.
