In 1991 Carl Richardson (KB5FJX) an Amateur Radio
operator in West Memphis Arkansas was tired of the constant bickering
and non-cooperation within and between the Amateur Radio clubs in the
Memphis and West Memphis area. Carl had three friends that where also
members of these clubs, and they had many of the same feelings. Carl got
with these friends John Ed Farris (N5VJZ), Phillip Farris (AB5BC) and
Gregg Boss (KI5XV) and decided that the only way they where going to
have fun with Amateur radio was to start there own group and do the
things they wanted to do in Amateur Radio. They welcomed everyone that
wanted to join them, and as time passed they became the Driven Elements
Amateur Radio Group. As you can see from the other pages of this
web-site, we have had a lot of fun in the past and have helped in a lot
of emergency and non-emergency events. Over the years the DEARG has had
it's ups and downs but our ideas have stayed the same, the ideas that
Amateur Radio is a hobby, and it should be fun. The Driven Elements is
not an Amateur Radio "CLUB" We feel that there is already
enough politics in this world as it is, and we do not want it effecting
our interest and enjoyment of our hobby. |
