About Ra7dio3 Report
THE RA7DIO3 REPORT is compiled in Wichita Falls, Texas by Omar from OMARC, the One-Man Amateur Radio Club. Various consultants also contribute content. All locations are in Wichita Falls, Texas unless otherwise noted. Beginning 06-30-2025, posts are in chronological order. Earlier posts are in reverse chronological order. In Hobby Radio lingo, "73" means Best Regards.
I've been a CB Radio operator since 1964. I've held an Amateur (ham) Radio license since 1982 and an Amateur Extra license since 1983. I engage in various aspects of the various radio services on a random basis. It might be CB Radio today, or this week, and Ham Radio tomorrow, or next week. Then there's the Family Radio Service, General Mobile Radio Service, the Multi-Use Radio Service, Radio Scanning, and Shortwave Listening. Again, random, except that I usually have Morse code running in the background. That's my music.
I'm not a fan of schedules of any type when it comes to radio. At 73, I'm too young to be tied to a clock. I need to rip and run across the bands and across town. A radio "contact" occurs between my antenna and your antenna. Simplex. Direct. You do what makes you happy.
This simple, static, script-free website has one function: put my text on your screen. Content Management Systems (CMS), such as Wordpress, are bloated overkill for my needs. Because this site is static and script-free, comments are not possible. Therefore, all questions are rhetorical. I offer no technical or how-to information. I'm here to have fun.
In addition to radio content, I post random stuff I've seen, done, or thought about doing in my 70+ years on Planet Earth. The statute of limitations has expired on most of my antics. Cookies are not used. Personal information is not collected. This is not a directory site or stepping stone to other websites.
