The Fort Worth Radio Club was formed in 1921 by a group of local hams to promote advancement and knowledge of Amateur Radio and to provide public service during emergencies and other events. In 1951 the club's name was changed to The Kilocycle Club of Fort Worth and today there are approximately 100 members. The club is open to anyone with an interest in any aspect of Amateur Radio and we still pursue the same goals laid down 78 years ago by our founders.
The KC Club, as it is commonly known as, has many all-ham families and we have several family-oriented get-togethers throughout the year in addition to our regular monthly meetings.
One of the highlights of the year is our annual ice-cream supper.
The main theme of our club is public service, with the majority of our members also being members of Tarrant County RACES. The KC Club provides communications for several annual events such as the March Of Dimes walks, the Alzheimers Association walk, the Cowtown Marathon, the Cowtown Classic Bicycle Ride, the M.S. society, and others.
The KC Club also sponsors Amateur Radio classes and ARRL and W5YI test sessions jointly with the Lockheed-Martin ARC.
The club operates a repeater on 146.840, callsign W5SH. At the present time our repeater is on the air but with a power output of only 2 watts or so due to damage from lightning. We are accepting donations for a new antenna and controller.

Club meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of the month at Ryan's Steakhouse. Ryan's Steakhouse is located on Cherry Lane, just north of I-30 across from Home Depot and in-between Wal-Mart and K-Mart.
