Out-of-the-Shack Hobby Radio Activities for Wichita Falls
GET OUT OF THE SHACK and make a portable, low-power, simplex radio contact from some of the locations shown below, using CB Radio, Ham Radio, FRS, GMRS, or MURS. Let me know ahead of time and I'll post the information on the Home Page. Or, do a surprise pop-up event. Email an after-action report and photo and I'll rotate it through this page. Maybe someone can come up with an award like "Worked All Parks" or "Worked All Horse Sculptures."
LOCATION IDEAS:
- atop Mount Murphy in Lake Wichita Park
- atop or near the World's Littlest Skyscraper
- at the Crepe Myrtle sculpture in Harold Jones Park
- at the River Bend Nature Center
- at the Wichita Falls Railroad Museum
- at the waterfalls
- at the Lucy Park bridge (who was Lucy, by the way?)
- at the Ohio Street Bridge
- in any Wichita Falls city park
- at the site of old street car tracks
- at any horse or other sculpture in town
- at a school or other public demonstration of Amateur (ham) Radio
- in front of the James V. Allred Unit prison
- aeronautical mobile - balloon, parachute, airplane - over Wichita Falls
- inside or outside any locally-owned eatery - no chains!
- maritime mobile on any area lake. Get 'em while they're wet!
- at a campsite or RV park
- any other interesting Wichita Falls area location
Wichita Falls Amateur (ham) Radio Operators, how about a "special event" station atop the World's Littlest Skyscraper? If a commercial radio station can throw stuff off and watch it smash on the ground, certainly a Ham Radio operation would be allowed. Someone make it happen!

By the way, I saw these tiny speakers on eBay and I just had to have them. I have no use for them that I can think of, but they're kind of cute!
