FALCON (Fellow Amateurs Linking Counties Over Networks) – was founded in 2021 originally as “KG5A Amateur Radio Club” with a main goal – to create a common operating picture for emergency communications in times of trouble.
We do this by:
- Dedicating one timeslot of our DMR radio system to everyday use – we know where our system works and what it can do because we use it daily. That is (TS2/TG2) hotspot link 314710
- Dedicating a timeslot to emergency Mutual Aid traffic (TS1/TG2) hotpsot link 314448
Come join the club and assist us with time, talent, and treasure to help build West Tennessee’s largest amateur digital radio system for both everyday and emergency-use.

We hope you will use this to check and diagnose your DMR connections into the system and PROUDLY display this in your shack so you can see who is getting on the system, and give them a warm welcome.
