Grant: The Limestone County Resilient RF Backbone
Date: May 2026
Amount: $1,311
The Navarro Amateur Radio Club (NFLARC), working with Limestone County ARES and RACES, to improve radio coverage in southern Limestone County Texas. Operators there have trouble reaching the club’s main repeater in Mexia because of the terrain and often rely on a repeater in neighboring Leon County.
The project will connect the Groesbeck repeater site to the existing Mexia hub with a permanent UHF RF link. This will give local operators better access to club and emergency nets and provide a more reliable local communications link.
