This year the Bastrop County Amateur Radio Club (BCARC) received an email from a student,  Aiden Nesbitt, at Bastrop High School asking for assistance in growing Amateur Radio participation at the school. BCARC took this request very seriously and gathered donated radios for this effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 15, 2025 at 3 pm BCARC made presentation of radios to the NJROTC (Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps) class. This page is a summary of the event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
