The Alamo Area Radio Organization (AARO) is a nonprofit Amateur Radio organization, club call sign AA5RO, dedicated to assisting the community through radio communications, and the enjoyment, appreciation, and the sharing of knowledge and advancement of Amateur Radio. The purpose of this site is to provide club news and messages from the AARO Board to club members, and to present information that might be useful to HAMs anywhere.
The object of Field Day is to work as many stations as possible on the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 Meter HF bands, as well as all bands 50 MHz and above, and in doing so to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions.
The AARO Field Day will be held at the American Legion Post #300, 3290 Grosenbacher Rd, San Antonio TX 78245.
More details to follow on this website.
Thanks to everyone that came to the meeting tonight. Here is the PowerPoint from tonight.

Another outstanding Winter Field Day is in the books. The weather was decent and the food was delicious! Thanks to KC3MVS and his XYL for planning and preparing the food. Also, a special thanks to the American Legion Post #300, who allowed us to set up on their site.
Hope to see you at the next Field Day, which is June 24th, 2023.
AARO would like to take the time to “THANK” the American Legion Post #300, 3290 Grosenbacher Rd, San Antonio, TX 78245 for the use of their facility. The staff at POST #300 are the “BEST”. Some are going to become HAMs some day soon. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You.
Also want to thank Chris KI5MJZ Field Day Chairman, Shane NS5D Field Day Co-chair for an awesome time. Thank you Kelly WB5MZT for the soldering class. Thank you Steve KE5WYV, Freddie (the dogs name) and all of those that attended this year’s Field Day events. Looking forward to Winter Field Day, already.
