The 3819 group has been meeting on 3819 KHZ since the early 60's. This group is made up of hams from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas. The regular times are 6 and 9 pm Central time. It consists of advanced and extra class HF enthusiast with many years experience. Topic of discussions range from anything to everything. Our sessions are broadcast live over high speed internet from Dallas, Texas compliments of K5AHT Bob and K5WGA Bill, so listeners world wide may enjoy our humor.
This is my only recording of this group. I used to listen them almost daily on my smartphone and decided to record a few, however I only found one recording on an old hard drive and I decided to upload this to my channel and keep it as an archive. Some if not most members on this group has since passed away or silent keys. The main person that started this group was Bob Bellar K5AHT SK.
