The NRH Office of Emergency Management invites you to the NRH Amateur Radio Club’s annual Field Day exercise on June 27 and 28.

The Field Day demonstrates ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network.

2026 NRHARC Annual Holiday Party

The North Richland Hills Amateur Radio Club held the 2026 Annual Holiday Party on 9 February 2026 after being rescheduled due to the severe winter weather storm in January. The party was held at spring Creek in Keller.

We enjoyed a great time spent with friends and family and some excellent Bar B Que, along with some exciting raffle prizes including An Inovato Quarda4K (won by this lucky HAM), and a Gift Card for HRO among other prizes.

A special thank you to everyone who attended, for making this a wonderful time for our Club.
