IN HONOR-The Amateur Radio Frequency 3937 has long been a gathering place for Arkansas Hams No one remembers for sure the beginning but general consensus is that the Arkansas Phone Net was on the frequency of 3885 prior to 1960.  The FCC instituted incentive licensing about 1978.  Several members of the Net were unable to continue operating on 3885 so the Net moved to 3948 for several years Interference caused the net to move to 3937.   Over the years prior to and after the Arkansas Phone Net mostly Arkansas Hams gathered on the Net Frequency for the fun of "rag chewing” From this activity grew the Arkansas Educational Frequency Over the years hundreds of Amateur Radio Operators made life long friends Some never meeting face to face but sharing all life events with each other over the radio. The 3937 Frequency was and is truly the Educational Frequency. All questions are answered. Accuracy was and is never guaranteed. As the years passed, so did many of the 3937 gang. It is with deep humility and respect we honor the legacy these men and women left from a time past, to the present and for those yet to come. In this regard we honor our fellow Hams who are "Silent Keys"...................................N5OCG.
